Our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Reading records and homework are due on Mondays and given out again on Tuesdays.
We hope you find this page useful for keeping up to date with your child's learning in Year 4. We have recently updated our curriculum maps in December 2023 so there may be some variations to the order in which we teach our topics.
Please feel free to use the knowledge organisers to ask your child questions about their learning and whether they know the meanings of any of the vocabulary.
Our recommended reads are chosen from high quality texts that may either be engaging for your child to read or have read to them.
