Year 4 - Spring Curriculum Newsletter
We are very excited for another term with your child! Please find below some key information about this term and a reminder of the Broadford expectations. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries using our inbox: year4@broadford.havering.sch.uk.
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record)
● 15 minutes practising spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts on Times Tables Rockstars
TTRS:
Your child learning their times tables is imperative for their understanding of Maths topics as a whole. Year 4 is the consolidation of all times tables, up to 12 x 12. Your child should know their TTRockstars login but please ask your child’s teacher if they do not.
Your child will be set 15 minutes of homework on TTRockstars, they will receive merits for completing this.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise their words every evening. Spelling books must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens. This will be closely monitored.
Swimming
Each class will attend swimming lessons for one term this year on Wednesdays (In order: Maple, Willow, Elm). Children in Willow will need to bring their own swimming kit into school, consisting of a swimming hat, towel, costume/trunks and goggles. Children will walk to Central Leisure with their class and return before the end of school. Please look out for more information on this for your child’s class.
P.E Lessons
For Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, children can wear their PE kit to school for their lessons in the afternoon - navy shorts/tracksuit bottoms, plain white t-shirt, plain navy sweatshirt (no hoodies) and trainers.
Forest School
This year all children will participate in Forest School, which will take place on Tuesday afternoons. It will go in this order: Maple, Willow, Elm. For these sessions they will need to change into: long trousers, a waterproof coat and old shoes or wellies that can stay in school. Please make sure that children have weather appropriate attire, so they can fully enjoy the sessions, even on a rainy day!
School Uniform
Please be reminded that the school colours are grey and navy. All school uniform is available through Premier School Wear. Children are permitted to wear stud earrings. Children must also not attend school wearing make-up or nail varnish/fake nails.
Reading Books
As reading is a huge priority here at Broadford, we will do our best to encourage the children to change their books regularly and every child will read 1:1 with an adult at least once a week. Please remind the children to let any adults know if they need to change their book and that it is their responsibility to bring any old reading books back to school.
105 Books to Read Before Leaving Broadford
Please be reminded of our reading reward system, where each year pupils can read 15 quality stories and be rewarded with certificates and prizes. There will be three certificates to earn - bronze, silver and gold. The children will keep trackers in school to monitor the books they have read - please find all the key stage 2 trackers, along with the books they can read here. Please also note that some books have a gold star next to them indicating that the book can be reviewed using MyBookBlog.
