Summer 1

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatu -llāhi wa-barakātuh. 

Inshallah you all had a fantastic Eid break. Please read below for information concerning Summer 1. If there are any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to come and speak to me.

 

In English

The English curriculum will continue with the development of spoken language, reading and writing skills. Children will develop their reading comprehension skills as well as learn spelling, punctuation and grammar. They will learn new skills and contexts for writing based on core texts. This term we will be reading The Boy At The Back Of The Class by Onjali Q Rauf in our English lessons. We will also be reading The Girl Who Stole An Elephant by Nizrana Farook for guided reading.

Reading (minimum of 10 minutes a day) – Shared reading and reading aloud helps children develop their higher-order comprehension skills. Please remind your child to fill in their reading record and complete their reading journal every week.

Spellings (10 minutes per day) – Please encourage your child to learn the spelling rules and the meanings of words as well as the spellings. Encourage children to use READ, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method.

Maths

The National Curriculum for Maths is being taught using the ‘Singapore Maths’ approach.

This term our focus will be measurements, area and perimeter of figures. We will also be solving some word problems in these topics.

Topic

In geography, we will be learning about the regions of the UK and we will use atlases to identify different types of settlements. We will look into the regions of the UK in detail and make comparisons between them.

School uniform & PE kit

Please ensure that all items of clothing are labelled with your child’s name. PE lessons will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Children must come to school with their PE kit on the days that they have PE.

Science

Our Science topic this term will be ‘Grouping Living things’. We will be finding out about what different types of livings things there are and how they are grouped.

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

This academic year, 2022-2023, we expect and are preparing to have their multiplication skills formally tested in the new statutory test. 

We encourage children to memorise multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12. This will only aid them in the future.

By regularly practising, children will develop their knowledge of multiplication tables in order to recall facts with precision and fluency.

Islamic Studies and Arabic

Children will continue to revise surahs from the Holy Qur’an as well as duas. They will continue learning Arabic from our specialist Arabic/Islamic Studies teacher. 

Year 4 Homework Guidance

Homework is important because it helps to consolidate classroom teaching. Please establish a homework routine and encourage your child to complete their homework that will be set on the Year 4 Google classroom and IXL.

Computing

In computing this term we will focus on animation. We will use a purple mash software called ‘2animate’ in which pupils will create different frames and draw their animations.
