Welcome to Class Four

Mrs Whiteside & Mrs Seddon

Autumn 2024

We hope that you have had a fabulous half term and are looking forward to Autumn 2 in Class 4. We’re going to be very busy this term leading up to Christmas!

During this term our English will be based on high quality texts. We don’t want to spoil the surprise and reveal the titles just yet, but we are sure you will enjoy them.

In maths we will be focussing on addition and subtraction; multiplication and division; fractions; time and length.

For geography we will be thinking about how we can live more sustainably followed by why so many people in the world live in megacities.

Breaking news – we are delighted to confirm that this year we will all be learning how to play the flute! The children will be bringing letters home explaining their responsibilities for during the lessons and the care of the instrument which they will be allowed to bring home with them once the music teacher is happy that the children are confident enough. The lessons will follow the music curriculum and the instruments will be provided by Sefton Music Service. It is thanks to PTA funding that these lessons are able to take place this year.

Our PE days will be Wednesday for swimming and Thursday for other activities. The pool have a very strict policy regarding jewellery and clothing which has not changed since the summer. Just to remind you: the wearing of jewellery or taping over it is strictly forbidden; girls need to wear full costumes and boys should wear trunks or jammers no longer than mid-thigh and all children must wear a swimming cap. Children should wear PE kit to school on both of these days.

If you have any questions or require clarification on any matters please contact us via the school office, admin email or very briefly at the school door.

We look forward to working with you to make this a fantastic year for the children.

English and maths homework will be given on Friday. English should be completed by Tuesday and Maths to be completed by Thursday. Maths homework will be either on MyMaths, Purple Mash, Abacus or TTRS. Your child will always have been told on what platform they will find their maths homework. Homework should take no more than 15-20 minutes. Children should also try to read at home for 10 minutes per day as many times a week as you can fit in and the same with TTRS.
