Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

 Welcome back Year 4! We hope you have had a great Half-Term break and are ready for more exciting learning this final term! 

This term P.E will continue to be on Mondays and Tuesdays. Monday will be swimming. Please can children make sure they have everything they need on these days and come to school wearing the correct PE Kit. Children should wear plain black leggings or joggers, white t-shirt and a plain black sweatshirt or hoody on PE days. Black trainers must be worn during PE sessions. For swimming, girls will need a one piece costume and swimming cap which can be purchased for £1 via the gateway. Boys need to wear trunks or swim shorts that are above the knee. All children must bring a towel in their bags. 

Children are expected to take their book bags home and bring them back to school the next morning on a daily basis. They need to make sure they read at home on a regular basis to allow further progress. The expectation is at least 3 times a week. House points are awarded to children for their regular reading at home.  Children must also make sure they are regularly practising their multiplication tables. It is important that children continue to practise their times tables the first week back in particular as they will be undertaking the National Multiplication Check the week commencing 9th June 2025.

The doors open at 8:45am and close at 8:55am when the register will be taken.  Home time is 3:15pm-if there are any problems please let the office staff know.

Our topic this term is all about different Biomes-what they are and how they are created. The children will also be learning about Sound and we are lucky to have Sound workshops in school the first week back. Look out for photos on our school page on X (formerly known as Twitter)

We will post regular updates on what the children have been up to and what they are learning on the Horton Mill Twitter page so keep your eyes peeled! You will also receive a newsletter with more details on what your child will be learning across the curriculum this term.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss your child’s learning, please see us or any member of the Year Four team before or after school. We are always happy to share the exciting learning of the children.

Mrs Hartley, Mrs Clavin and Mrs Bibi.
