Welcome to Year 4 Red Base!
Miss Higginbottom, Mrs Dunn and Mrs Blagden warmly welcome you to Red Base!
Welcome to our class page, where you will find all the useful information you need throughout the year, as well as updates and examples of some of our brilliant learning.
The School Day
Our day starts at 8:40am, when our classroom door will open for children to come in. Children should arrive between 8:40am and 8:50am.
Our school day ends at 3:20pm.
Reading
We love reading books from our Year 3/4 Reading Spine and believe that regular reading at home is one of the best ways to help children become fluent, confident and enthusiastic readers. We ask that children read at home at least 5 times a week. This could be a school reading book, comic, magazine, recipe or another book of their choice.
We kindly ask that your child brings their reading book and reading record in their book bag every day. Reading books will be changed on Mondays.
Spellings
Each week, we learn a new spelling rule and children will take home a spelling list on Friday. You can support your child by practising their spellings in different ways. We recommend logging onto Spelling Shed and completing the games each week.
Maths
Regular times-table practice is really beneficial for your child as they progress in year 4. They complete a National Multiplication Test of all the times tables from 2x to 12 x at the end of the year. Children can practise their maths skills using TTRockstars and Purple Mash - they will have their own login details.
PE
Our PE days are:
Tuesday – Outdoor PE
Thursday –Indoor PE
On these days, children should come to school wearing their PE kit:
Trainers
Black shorts/joggers
Dojo-coloured T-shirt
Black jumper or hoodie
Please make sure that your child can remove their own earrings or remove them before coming to school on PE days.
Our Learning
We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead, filled with interesting, engaging and inspiring learning.
We will introduce a new topic each half term. Children will receive a Knowledge Organiser containing important facts and vocabulary, alongside a selection of topic-related activities they can complete at home.
During half term one, our topic is called 'Yorkshire.'
If there is any information you cannot find on our class page, please come and speak to us at pick-up time or contact the school office by email. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a fantastic year together!
Miss Higginbottom, Mrs Dunn and Mrs Blagden
