Welcome to Year 4
The Year 4 class team for 2024/25 includes Ms Kalisz, the class teacher and Miss Draper, the student teacher.
This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 4 this term and throughout the academic year.
We have already had a fantastic Autumn Term. We have written fight scenes based on reading ‘The Wild Robot and we were lucky enough to go on a trip to see the film version and compare. While the film was great, we thought the book was even better!
We have an exciting year to look forward to, with interesting topics such as Why are rainforests important to us? How hard was it to invade and settle in Britain? Where does our food come from? How did the achievements of the Ancient Maya impact their society and beyond? And What are rivers and how are they used?
In Year Four, we focus on our times tables fluency in preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in June. We have twice weekly ‘level up’ sessions to track our learning and we enjoy practising our tables in between. Having quick recall of times tables helps your child in their maths understanding and daily 5-10min practice sessions are a great way to support your child at home.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
