🎅 Year 4 Weekly Overview 🎄

Week of 15th- 19th December 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of a very special term, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all parents and carers for your incredibly generous and thoughtful gifts this week. Your kindness and support are truly appreciated and very touching. It has been a pleasure teaching your children this term, and your generosity means a great deal to us.

This week in Year 4 has been filled with creativity, reflection and festive cheer. The children created wonderful Nativity scenes inspired by the style of Quentin Blake, using his expressive lines and imaginative details. Alongside this, we took part in a variety of activities to deepen our understanding of the true meaning of the Christmas Story, encouraging thoughtful discussion, reflection and respect for this important celebration.

Our classroom has also been made extra magical this December thanks to our very special visitor, Jingle the Elf, who has been with us since 1st December. The children have loved discovering his antics each morning and sharing in the excitement he brought to our classroom. Before heading back to the North Pole this week, Jingle kindly left the children some treats, including a bauble and gingerbread to decorate and enjoy, which was a lovely way to end his visit.

Reminder: As we approach the Christmas holidays, I would like to remind you that there will be no formal homework set over the break. However, I do encourage the children to continue reading and practicing their Times Tables where possible.

The holidays are a great time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the festivities with family. We want everyone to return in the new year feeling refreshed and ready for the next term!

If your child would like to keep a holiday diary, they are welcome to share it with us on the first day back in January. This is entirely optional, but we always enjoy reading about their holiday adventures!

It has been wonderful to share the magic of Christmas with your children during this festive period. Thank you, as always, for your continued support throughout the term.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2026.

Warm regards,

Mrs Foy
