Outdoor Learning is on alternate Tuesdays.
Outdoor Learning kits consist of:- Warm clothing
- Black jogging bottoms or leggings

- Waterproof coat, trousers or all in one
- Extra layers
- Warm socks
- Hat, scarf, gloves
- Wellies or old trainers (brought to school in a named bag and preferably to be left at school)
All the kit should be clearly named and in a bag which can be hung on your child’s peg. Children have the opportunity to build dens, explore the mud kitchen, look after our animals and can get messy. Please send in clothes that you do not mind getting messy or wet.
Homework in Year 4 Reading:Each week, we ask that all children read with somebody at home at least three times a week. This could be any adult or an older sibling or friend. Please sign their diary and add a comment. Every little bit of reading really does help children on the learning journey. Spelling:We also ask that the children practise their weekly spellings which can be found inside the Communication Diary. We conduct a spelling quiz each week as part of a dictation lesson, and these words form part of our English teaching for the week. Times tables:A vital aspect of Maths is that the children have a secure recall of times tables so we ask that they spend some time each week on TT Rockstars practising these. Log in details can be found in your child's Communication Diary. PLEASE note the Year 4 Multiplication Check will also be happening in the first two weeks of term.
