Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

 Welcome back Year 4! We hope you have had a great half term break and are ready for more exciting learning this half term! 

This half term P.E will  be in school on Tuesdays and swimming on Wednesdays. Please can children make sure they have everything they need on these days and come to school wearing the correct PE Kit. Children should wear plain black leggings or joggers, white t-shirt and a plain black sweatshirt or hoody on PE days. Black trainers should be worn on PE days. Swimming kits should be worn underneath clothes ready to set off straight after the register on Wednesday mornings. Please make sure you are at school for 8:30am on swimming days. Swimming caps can be purchased via the school gateway app. 

Children are expected to take their book bags home and bring them back to school the next morning on a daily basis. They need to make sure they read at home on a regular basis to allow good progress. The expectation is at least 3 times a week. House points are awarded to children for their regular reading at home.  Children must also make sure they are regularly practising their multiplication tables. It is important that children practise their times tables regularly as they will be undertaking the National Multiplication Check in the summer term.

The children will line up on the KS1 playground every morning. School starts at 8:45am and at this time the class teacher will bring the children into school. The doors will close at 8:50am when the register will be taken.  Arrivals to school after this time will have to go through the front office as the gates will be closed. Home time is 3:15pm-if there are any problems please let the office staff know.

Our big question this term is ‘How did Manchester become a leading city?' Children will learn the Roman history of Manchester and why the massacre at Peterloo is so significant.

We will post regular updates on what the children have been up to and what they are learning on the Horton Mill Facebook page so keep your eyes peeled! You will also receive a newsletter with more details on what your child will be learning across the curriculum this term.

 If you have any questions or wish to discuss your child’s learning, please see us or any member of the Year Four team before or after school. We are always happy to share the exciting learning of the children.

Mrs Hartley, Mrs Clavin, Mrs Bibi, Mrs Akhtar and Mrs Parveen.
