Dosbarth 4

 The Class Teacher is Miss Sherratt and the Class LSA's are Miss N Davies.

In Year 4 the learners enjoy a varied curriculum based on topics that the pupils have been involved in choosing and planning. Each topic begins with an Engage activity, to capture the pupils’ interest and at the end of each topic we like to celebrate their learning through an event or final project.  Learning opportunities are planned across the six Areas of Learning Experiences with The Four Core Purposes at the heart of everything.  ICT and Numeracy features heavily within the curriculum and the outdoors is used whenever possible, to develop the children’s learning.

Physical Education

Dedicated P.E. sessions will take place on a Wednesday, please could children wear appropriate clothing as some of these sessions will be outside. Swimming will take place on a Wednesday (on rotation, so learners will be notified when their half term swimming will take place).

Homework

Homework is set when it will provide opportunities for the learners to consolidate concepts and skills that have been taught in school day.  This will also provide parents and guardians with an insight as to what their child is learning in school and the progress they are making.  All learners have their own IDL Literacy and Numeracy login details and access to HWB , the National Digital Learning Platform which comes with a collection of digital tools and the full Microsoft Office package. 

Reading

Reading is an essential skill that enables learners to build their vocabulary, improve understanding and enhances creativity in oracy and writing tasks.  Reading tasks and opportunities and provided throughout the day in a variety of different ways, including individual reading, reciprocal reading, Empathy reads and online research/reading tasks.  Learners should read every night, even if it is not their school reading book.  Learners can also access their online IDL account to further support reading, comprehension and spelling.

Times Tables

Learners will participate in the daily 110 club challenge and will bring a copy of their current club home to help improve their fluency.  In addition, learners can access  both 'J2 Blast' on HWB and IDL Numeracy to support their learning.  Quick recall of times tables facts will support learning across the curriculum in a wide variety of tasks.
