Welcome to the Team 4 class page!

At Horn's Mill, our Curriculum is delivered through a thematic approach through a range of themes. Our Current theme in Team 4 is 'Gorillas'. Have a look at the document below to see how it looks in our team.  

In addition to the curriculum documents above, please visit our curriculum page here for further details of individual subjects, including our personal development curriculum. 

Please see below for a typical daily timetable in Team 4:

PE will be on a Thursday morning. Children will be swimming this term so please send them to school in their normal uniform, a coat and also their swimming items/towel/goggles in a named bag.

Reading books are changed every Monday so please ensure your child brings their reading book and record in on Mondays.

Home Learning

Having such a huge impact on children’s learning, children are expected to read for 10 minutes, 5 times a week at home and to record this in their reading record at least once per week. Your child will bring home a book of their choice from the class library and a colour coded book based on their current stage of development which will support the progression of their fluency and comprehension skills. 

Reading records and colour coded books should be brought into school every day. These will be changed regularly.

A link to home learning will be sent out every half-term and can also be found at the bottom of this page. This includes some spelling and maths to complete as well as some suggestions for additional reading and practical activities.

Times Tables

At the end of Team 4 your child will sit a National Times Table Test set by the government. We would appreciate if you could encourage your child to practise their times tables each day. To aid this practise your child has been given a FREE subscription to Times Tables RockStars! It is vital that this resource is utilised. We have started with times tables practise in class and will continue with this throughout the school year. 

If you need any advice or assistance with anything that you think we may be able to help with, our door is always open and we are more than willing to help where we can. Thank you for all your support!
