Year Four Notice Board

Class Reading Books for Summer Term

Notices:

This half term, Year 4 will be doing Tennis in PE. Children will receive lessons from specialist tennis coaches on Wednesday afternoons. Therefore, for the first half term, children will need to come in their PE kits on Wednesday, instead of their regular Monday. They will not have PE on Mondays. 

IMPORTANT: Many children do not have a glue stick. Please send one in for your child to use. 

Swimming - Is a statutory part of the curriculum so all children must attend
                     - Please make sure your child's clothes are labelled and that shoes with laces can be tied independently.
                     - If your child is not swimming e.g. they are not well enough, please send a note in to Ms Beatty or Miss Abdullah

New lunch menu - please discuss meal choices with your child so they know what the choice is for that day.

Please remember the children should have a healthy snack for morning playtime.

Reading for Pleasure books for class

As part of our focus on reading in school, we would like to develop the lending library of books within each class. This will enable the children to foster a passion and love of reading at Belmont and ensure that they have access to high quality texts.
Please find links to the book list that has a variety of books that we would love to have in class.  Once a book has been donated to the class we will add a tick to show we now have it.  Please check the list to ensure that the book that you would like to donate is one that we don't already have.
These books will be stamped to show who has generously donated them and shared with all the class.
The books come from the Recommended Books for Year 4 List which can be found below.

Summer Term

Our topic this term is 'Tree of Life'

The below list is part of an initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list with you so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home, it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language. We may add to this list during the topic as new words are introduced.

Knowledge Organisers

Further information about the learning in history and geography is available on our new Knowledge Organisers. These are available on the Maple and Rowan Google Classrooms in the Classwork tab.  The link will be updated when the children have joined their new Google classroom.

Handwriting 

As you may be aware Belmont uses a cursive handwriting scheme for those children who can consistently form all non-cursive letters correctly.
Here is a link to the handwriting guidelines to enable you to support your children practising letter formation at home.
