Class 4 2025 - 2026
Welcome to Class 4!
Welcome back to a new school year, a new start and a new Class 4. This half term is all about Geography and exploring the human and natural features of our world.
Class 4’s focus will be on the Lake District; we will be exploring more about this area of natural beauty, using maps to understand its unique features and plot routes and comparing it to other locations we may have visited. We will be investigating what makes this area special through research, asking questions and hope to visit the town of Staveley later this half term
Please ensure you look out for the Lake District Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes.We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.
THE READING RAFFLE CHALLENGE
This year we will be emphasising reading as a focus for our learning. Ensure that your home reader is in school EVERYDAY as we will be starting our day with reading and creating a calm and focused start to our day. The expectation in Class 4 is for the children to read a minimum of 3-5 times per week. If they achieve this they will earn 5 team points and a raffle ticket which puts them in position to win a prize at the end of the half term. the more tickets the more chance to be a reading winner!
You have to be reading it to win it!!!
Class 4 will have swimming on Monday and PE on Friday afternoons.Please ensure they have their swimming and PE kits on the correct days.
Remember home learning is always due back in on a Tuesday so it can be checked and sent back out to you each Thursday.
