Welcome to Class 4

Mrs Hanna (Teacher) and Mrs Long (Teaching Assistant) 

Autumn Term 2025

Our Learning:

English

During our English lessons, we will be focusing on two different texts, Counting on Katherine and Greek Myths. Children will develop their reading and writing skills through creating a information report and narrative. 

Maths

In the Autumn Term, we explore a range of topics including Place Value, Addition and Subtraction and Multiplication and Division. Over the course of the year, we will be preparing for our Multiplication Check in June 2026, building on our fluency of times tables facts using the NCETM Mastering Number programme. 

Science

In Science, we will be focusing on two topics, Eating and Digestion and States of Matter. Children will be given lots of opportunties to develop their skills through observing, predicting and investigating a range of scientific enquiries. 

RE

In September, Year 4 will begin their journey through the new RE curriculum, RED.

The first branch we will explore is Creation and Covenant.

We will continue with our daily Prayer and Liturgy sessions, spending time together reflecting on God's word.

Important Information

PE

Year 4 PE day will be updated in September 2025.

Homework

Homework will be given each week on a Friday. This will include a Reading or SPAG based task, as well as a times tables task. 

Each child will take home a banded reading book which should be read at least 3 times at home, and sent back in each week to be changed. 

Additional Information

Asthma inhalers/medication must be handed in to the office with the appropriate paper work and will be administered in class as necessary. You will be informed if your child has used their inhaler during the day.

If you have any questions and would like to speak to your class teacher, please do not hesitate to contact the office to arrange an appointment with Mrs Hanna.

Please check the school website, twitter and newsletters for any unpcoming events. Please also check the parent app for any trips that your child will be going on. Keep an eye on our school twitter page (@StGerardsWidnes) to see what your child has been up to.
