Learning at Home
We expect all children to read their reading book at home at least three times a week to support their learning. Children should also access their 'TT Rockstars' for at least 15 minutes three times a week.  

Each year group will also have six 'Teach Your Parent' activities per term linked to their wider curriculum learning. These are to enrich your child's wider knowledge and support you with further learning at home and are optional to complete.

What a fantastic term year 4 have had. We have had some fantastic trips and learning opportunities. We loved our trip to Manchester Museum to get hands on with some real Ancient Egyptian artefacts find out more about the way that the Ancient Egyptians lived. We also loved the opportunity to look at the terraruim at the museum and linked this to our geography work on the rainforest. In DT, we have been designing and making a bag. We have learnt some tricky sewing skills to join the fabric together. We have really enjoyed studying two Shakespeare texts in English this term –
A Midsummer Night’s Dream and King Lear. We enjoyed exploring the texts through drama techniques and becoming familiar with the language that Shakespeare used. In PE, we are exploring the story of Charlie’s Chocolate Factory through dance. We enjoyed using props to bring our dance to life. Finally, we really enjoyed having a visit from some of the staff and children from Kemball school for our disability awareness session.  

What a fantastic term – well done year 4!
