When safe, swimming will be held on a Thursday afternoon at Oldham Pool. The children will leave school at 1.30 and will return to school for 3.15 approximately. Children will need trunks or a swimming costume, a hat and a towel. Jewellery must not be worn and long hair must be tied back. Swimming hats can be purchased from the school office for £1.
PE will take place on a Friday morning. The children will need black leggings or joggers, a white tee shirt and a black sweater for the winter.
Homework will be set on a Friday and will consist of a home reading book, timetables, spellings and an additional piece from the curriculum. Please sign your child's reading record book to show that they have read to you. Homework must be returned to school on Tuesday.
Covid 19 (Lockdown 3) Year 4 Newsletter
We would like to welcome all of year 4 back to school on Monday the 8th of March.
The school day will run as it did previously from 8.50am until 3pm.
Children will be expected to attend school wearing full uniform and black school shoes apart from on a Thursday and Friday when they can attend in PE kit.
PE kit comprises of pumps or trainers, black leggings, joggers or shorts, a white tee-shirt and a black sweatshirt if the weather is cold. Swimming will not commence until the 20th of April so swimming kits will not be needed on a Thursday and instead the children will do PE therefore needing a PE kit on Thursday.
When the children return to school on the 8th of March we will be having an assessment week focusing on reading, spelling and maths. This is to see where the children currently are in relation to year 4 expectations. This will enable us to therefore create a catch up programme of learning for the rest of the year.
Over the next few weeks until Easter half term the curriculum content is as follows:
Maths : Multiplication, division and time
English: Non-chronological reports and diaries
Science: Electricity and Sound
History: The Romans
RE: Easter
DT: Roman Chariots
PSHE: Friendships
Computing: Animation
We look forward to seeing you all!
From Mrs Carruthers, Mrs Shipton and the rest of the year 4 team
Anglo Saxon visitor
We had a visit from a lady who taught us all about the Anglo Saxons and how they came to live in this country.
We learned a lot about how the Anglo Saxons lived cooked and fought. How they made their clothes and how they hunted for their food.
There were lots of artefacts to see, such as spears and swords, clothes and cooking utensils and even a mini flour mill!
