Welcome to Year 4 

Mr Woest

Our value for this term: Courage

This Week: Immersion week

We had a fantastic first week back, exploring Victorians and visiting the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. The children looked fabulous on Tuesday, and their enthusiasm for learning about children's lives during the Victorian era and the impact of the Industrial Revolution was truly inspiring. They’ve learned that, thanks to Lord Shaftesbury, all children are fortunate enough to attend school and receive an education.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Milestones Museum, and your children were a real credit to our school. Their behaviour was outstanding, and they impressed the adults with their knowledge.

Next week, we will begin our new reading and writing topic based on the book The Iron Man, and in math, we will focus on multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.

PE Kit: Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Every week we have two PE lessons. This half term we are focussing on basketball and getting our dance ready for the Dance Extravaganza.

Times tables: Every Friday, the children take a timed mixed times tables test, with 10 seconds to answer each question. I’ve now added the 7s times tables. Your support in encouraging your child to practice their times tables daily for at least 5 minutes on Times Tables Rock Stars would be greatly appreciated. Children receive dojo points in class as a reward for practising online.
