Please do not bring a full change of clothes, just something you can put on over your uniform. This is only if you want to, please don't go out and buy anything new!

On Friday this week (4/12), it is the KS2 cross country event. Please come into school in your PE kit and remember to bring a change of footwear and a carrier bag in case you get muddy!

Please don't forget that all homework is set via teams. It will be uploaded on a Wednesday to be handed or 'Turned in' by the following Thursday, Spellings continue to be set in spelling books and are also uploaded onto both here and Teams. Please keep an eye on Teams, as messages are regularly updated.

Welcome to 4BG

Our topic for this term is Woodlands. We will be finding out about different trees and areas of woodland. We will also investigate the impact of deforestation.

For the second half term, we will be exploring and writing poetry and then move on to letter writing. Our Maths work will build on our number and place value work with a focus on addition and subtraction, including formal written methods. We will continue to rehearse all times tables to 12x12. In Science we move on to learning about teeth and digestion.

Don't forget, you only need a very small school bag and pencil case. You must bring a labelled water bottle and a fruit/vegetable snack for break if you want one. Now the weather is colder, please make sure you have a warm, waterproof coat in school everyday so that we can continue to get outside as much as possible.

Our outdoor PE day is WEDNESDAY - Please come into school each week dressed appropriately in your blue T shirt and shorts. You may wear a plain, dark coloured tracksuit over these and trainers are fine. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery worn.

There will no indoor PE for the time-being.

Please make sure you are reading regularly at home and taking time to discuss what you have read.

You have your own log-ins for MyMaths and ihub, as well as times tables rock stars. After half term we will begin trialing setting homework via Microsoft Teams and this will be our system for home-learning should it be needed.

You can contact any member of the year 4 team on yearfour@woodville.essex.sch.uk

All children should have come home with their log-in information for Teams. Please check that this is working and let us know if you come across any problems. Homework will be set using this, and in the event of our bubble having to isolate or school closures, home learning will also be communicated in this way.
