Welcome to Class Four

Spring 2 2026!

Welcome back to Class 4! 

Welcome back to Class 4. We hope you all had a restful spring half term and are ready for the exciting learning ahead as we continue our journey towards Easter. As a new member of the school, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the children during my first half term. It has been a pleasure supporting their learning and beginning to build strong relationships with both the children and families. I am really looking forward to continuing to work closely with you to ensure a happy, positive, and successful year for everyone.

Religious Education remains a key focus in our school. This half term, Class 4 will be exploring the teaching of Jesus as we prepare for Easter through the season of Lent. Our learning will focus on unconditional love, mercy, and forgiveness, helping the children to reflect on how Jesus’ words and actions guide Christians in their daily lives today.

In English, we will be reading The Giant Who Stirred. This text will inspire the children’s writing as they develop their skills in characterisation, descriptive language, and sentence structure. The children will have opportunities to write creatively, express ideas from different viewpoints, and refine their grammar and punctuation throughout the unit.

In Maths, there will continue to be a strong focus on multiplication tables and rapid recall, supporting the children in building confidence and fluency. Alongside this, the children will develop their understanding of multiplication and division strategies, problem solving, reasoning, fractions, measurement, and properties of shape.

In Science, our topic remains States of Matter. The children will explore solids, liquids, and gases, investigate changes of state, observe the water cycle, and learn how temperature can affect materials through practical investigations.

Our History topic asks the question, “Who were the Anglo Saxons and how do we know what was important to them?” The children will find out about who the Anglo-Saxons were, where they originated and why their invasion and settlement was a relatively straightforward. We will also explore the evidence that suggests what their homes might have been like as well as the structure of the villages in which they lived. 

PE lessons will continue to take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure children continue to come to school wearing the correct PE kit on these days.

Please remember to check the class page and Instagram regularly for updates and photographs of our learning.

Our aim in Class 4 is to provide an enjoyable, engaging, and supportive learning environment where every child feels confident and motivated to succeed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch, I am always happy to help and look forward to continuing to work with you this half term.

Key information

• English and Maths homework will be given on Friday. Both should be completed by Wednesday.
• Maths homework will be either on MyMaths, Google Classroom or TTRS. English homework can be found on the Google Classroom. I will let the children know where they can find their homework if ever it is different. Children can still login to Abacus and Purple Mash if they wish to access some of their learning games in addition to their set homework.
• Homework should take no more than 15-20 minutes. If would be great if children could read at home for 10 minutes per day as as often as possible and the same with TTRS. This can be done independently.
• Our PE days will be Tuesday and Thursday and a full PE kit is needed for these days please.
