Our Class

On behalf of Mrs. Stanger, Mrs. Ikhlaq, Mrs. Young, and myself, Mrs. Roche, we’re thrilled to welcome your child to Year 4!

In Year 4, our goal is to make learning exciting, engaging, and meaningful. We’ll work hard supporting your child in building on the foundation they’ve developed in Key Stage 1, while preparing them for the exciting challenges ahead in Upper Key Stage 2 at Hawthorn Primary.

This year is a special opportunity for your child to consolidate their learning and take the next steps on their educational journey. Our team is committed to helping every child reach their full potential, and we’re here to guide them as they grow into confident, capable learners.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, fun, and personal growth!

Supporting Your Child’s Growth in Year 4

This year, your child will be encouraged to take more responsibility for their learning and continue building on the skills they’ve developed so far. We’ll focus on helping them grow in confidence, become independent learners, and develop into responsible, successful individuals.

We’ll also be sharing lots of updates on our activities and work through the website and on 'X', so be sure to keep an eye out!

If you ever have any questions or would like to chat about what we’re covering in class, feel free to catch us at the start or end of the school day.

I’m really looking forward to a fantastic year together with your child!

With thanks,
Mrs. Roche, Mrs. Ikhlaq, Mrs. Young, and Mrs. Stanger
The Year 4 Team

 

P.E.
This term, our P.E. sessions will take place on Mondays and Fridays. Please ensure they have their trainers on both P.E. days, and that any jewelry is removed before each session.

Reading
Children’s reading books will be changed every Monday and Thursday. Please make time to read with your child at home and remember to fill in their reading record.

Homework
For each new topic, I will send home a set of home learning activities based around that subject. The children can choose which activity they’d like to complete, and they will earn learning points for each piece of homework they finish. Weekly spelling lists will also be sent home—please support your child in practicing these.

TTRockstars
In Year 4, the children will complete a multiplication check, so it’s really important that they use TTRockstars regularly to improve their recall of times table facts.
