 Year 4 Weekly Overview 

Week of 9th-13th February 2026

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Year 4 have had a wonderful final week of Spring Term 1 and should be very proud of all their hard work and achievements this half term. 

 

On Friday, we enjoyed the semi-finals of the Eisteddfod poetry competition. A very big well done to our class finalists — they were all fantastic, speaking clearly and performing superbly with great confidence. We are incredibly proud of them!

 

A reminder that there is no formal half-term homework. Instead, please use this time to:

  • Read daily with your child

  • Practise times tables to improve speed and recall

  • Rehearse weekly spellings

If children would like to keep a diary of their half term, this is greatly welcomed and will be shared and celebrated on the first day back.

 

 

✏️ Learning This Week

 

English
In English, the children worked extremely hard writing their own return narrative stories to Africa. The writing was very impressive, with some children producing pieces up to six pages long!

 

Maths
In Maths, we recapped and learned about time, including the difference between 24-hour and analogue clocks, and solved a range of time-based problems.

 

Science
In Science, the children got hands-on with an exciting experiment demonstrating how the digestive system works, helping them to understand the process in a fun and practical way.

 

French

In French, children learned how to say “I would like” — Je voudrais. They also practised saying:
“Dans mon panier, j’ai des légumes, des champignons, des épinards, des pommes de terre, des haricots verts, des petits pois et des carottes.”
(“In my basket I have vegetables, mushrooms, spinach, potatoes, green beans, peas and carrots.”)

 

Art

In Art, Year 4 created some fabulous African masks using clay. The creativity and effort shown were outstanding.

 

 

We hope you all have a restful and enjoyable half term, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back soon!

 

Warm regards,

Mrs Foy
