Year 4 summer letter


 

Year 4 Summer Term 2016

Welcome back after a wonderful Easter Break.  This term we will be starting our History topic based on The Ancient Greeks.  This topic will also be linked to our English Units of Work as well as our Art and DT. In Science we will be investigating solids, liquids and gasses and habitats.

Just a few general reminders...

·        A full PE kit must be in school at all times please (including trainers)

·        A named water bottle is also needed this term as the classrooms may get hot and PE takes place on the bottom field.

·        Black Indoor Shoes please...  Some children are still trying to bypass this rule and wearing their trainers all day.  Now that the school field will come into use, a change of footwear after break will be needed more than ever.

·        Pencil cases.  These need to be fully stocked please.  A fully equipped pencil case can be purchased from the school at a very reasonable £6.00.  In particular the children need a spare pen, pencil, 30cm ruler and a working glue stick. Lessons can be delayed when children are scrabbling about trying to find the correct equipment.
