Year 4
Weekly Update - Friday 14th November 2025
Summary of this week:
The Year 4 teachers have been so proud this week, watching all of the auditions for our Matilda production. We are so impressed with how many children learnt their lines, added in their own actions and stood up at the front of the room with so much confidence! We will be sorting out parts and scripts over the next week or so, in order to be able to tell the children which part they will have. Please note that some children with bigger parts will be invited to Performance Club in Spring Term (Thursdays 3.20-4.20pm) to rehearse the main script and to also learn some extra dances/songs. Information about this will be shared as soon as possible.
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be exploring methods for division, tackling word problems to do with grouping and sharing.
English: We will be writing our own non chronological reports about Eastwick School!
Reading: We will be continuing our author study on Michael Morpurgo, unpicking further chapters of “The Butterfly Lion”.
Foundation:
In Geography, we will be learning about indigenous people that make the rainforest their home.
In Computing, we will be learning how to share and edit each other’s work using word documents.
In PSHE, we will be exploring what bullying is and what to do if we think someone is being bullied.
In RE, we will be asking and exploring: What is the most significant part of the Nativity story for Christians?
In Science, we will be learning about the water cycle.
In PE, we will be doing Gymnastics with Mrs Line and Rugby with the PE coaches.
Homework:
Maths
The Maths homework sheet will be stuck into books and given out on Tuesdays – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.
Spelling
Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.
Notices & Reminders:
A message has gone out to parents about supporting with the Christingle Service – walking to school and back at the end of the trip. Thank you in advance for your engagement with this – we know we have asked a lot from you recently! 😊
Please also note that some children will be given speaking parts for the Christingle service. These children will take paper copies of their lines home to practise. They do not need to be learnt off by heart, but it would be great if they can read through them at home to be extra confident with the words and phrasing. Thank you!
Miss Bullock, Mrs Secker and Mrs McKenzie.
