Year 4 is part of Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4). There is one Year 3 class and one Year 4 class. Although they each have their own curriculum they may sometimes join together to learn or for assemblies. 

Poplar

Welcome to Poplar class. In Poplar we have myself, Mrs. Rowley (class teacher) and Mrs Green (teaching assistant). It is going to be a fun, but busy, year learning about Ancient Maya and all about Rainforests. The children have all come back bubbling and looking forward to the year ahead which is really encouraging. 

In maths, the year will begin with place value and understanding digits up to 10,000 and later in the year length and perimeter, encouraging the children to develop their understanding and able to apply their knowledge to reason and solve problems. It is really important that the children practise their times tables as much as possible at home, as they will have their multiplication check in June 2027. They are able to access TT Rockstars, which all the children have their password for, and we will be doing a lot of practise in school.

During the year, the learning focus for science will be about electricity, the human digestive system, the functions of different types of teeth and food chains. There will also be a focus on how organisms are classified.

Should you have any questions or concerns please contact me via the teacher email address (teacher@mapletreeprimaryschool.com).

P.E: Poplar have P.E on Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child has a full, named P.E kit. Long hair needs to be tied up and ear rings (small stud like) is removed or they bring in tape.

Spellings: Weekly spellings will be given out on Friday and the children tested the following Friday. The spellings are different every week and will be stuck in their green books where they can practise.

Reading: All children are expected to read their reading book for at least 10 minutes, four times a week. Please record this in their homework diary. It is your child’s responsibility to take AR quizzes in order for them to reach their targets each term.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to speak to us at the door or email me via teacher@mapletreeprimaryschool.com, and I will endeavour to respond within 48 hours.
