Brunel Class

Welcome to Brunel class. We are look forward to continuing to collaborate with you and your child as this academic year continue. In Year 4, We are taught by Mr Prowse every day apart from Tuesday mornings where we are taught by Mr Curtis. We are very lucky to be supported by Mr Harris in the mornings and afternoons everyday. 
Our topics this half term are -
In English, we will be focusing on ‘Rainforest Rough Guide – Paul Mason,’ a dual text that the children will emulate when completing their own guide to the local area and what can be done to preserve and protect it. 
The second text we are looking in this new year is 'The Works', a collection of poetry by Pie Corbett which will inspire the children to write their own poems. 
We will be working on spellings from Spelling shed and Year 3/4 common exception words. These will be given as homework each week alongside math’s work on Times Tables Rock Stars. As you are aware at the end of Year 4, we have the multiplication tables check. More information will be sent out closer to them time.
PLEASE use every opportunity to practice multiplication facts from 2 – 12. Children should be encouraged to have instant recall of these facts so any activities will help them. We follow the White Rose Maths scheme of learning at the year 4 level, which allows us to cover the wide range of topics in small manageable steps. 
Our topic work this half term is 'Rocks, Relics and Rumbles', which combines elements of Geography & Science and  explores the features and characteristics of Earth's layers, including a detailed exploration of volcanic, tectonic and seismic activity. 
In Science we will also learning about forces and magnets. 
We will also be talking about citizenship in PSHE and learning Spanish vocabulary.
In RE we will complete our work to answer the question – ‘What kind of world did Jesus want?’.
We ask children to bring reading books into school every day. We have lots of opportunities to choose different books from different places, such as the school library, the class book corner, the town library and our special ‘Buzz Books’ that link to our class book. Our class book is read by Mr Prowse everyday, with everyone engaging in prediction and comprehension questions.
Please share any book your child brings home even if they have chosen something which is above their reading age- enjoy the story together.
The children have returned to school after the winter break fantastically. 
We thought that it would be helpful to let you know the Brunel class expectations so that we can start the school year smoothly.

  • School starts at 8.55am so please can you ensure that your child is in school at this time
  • Children must have the correct PE kit in school every day. If this comes into school on the first day of term in a labelled bag then it can be left on their peg for washing at half term. We may do PE at any time so it is useful if their kit is in school at all times. However our current PE days are Monday and Tuesday.
  • Reading is an important part of the curriculum and we encourage the children to read for pleasure at home at least three times a week.
  • Each week there is an expectation for every child to complete their TT Rockstars homework and spelling shed homework.
  • The school day ends at 3.20pm so please can children be picked up promptly on the bottom playground. If you are happy for your child to walk home, the school office will need to be notified.
If you ever have any questions concerning the learning or the school day, please do not hesitate to speak to me at the end of the day. 
Mr Prowse
