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 'Ancient Greeks' 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

The way we implement homework here at Horn’s Mill has changed. We value the vital importance reading has on a child’s life and education. With that in mind, we are having a huge reading campaign this year and we need your help to ensure your child is reading at home too. We would be extremely grateful if your child could read for a minimum of 10 minutes per day from Sunday through to Thursday. Ideally, this would be done with another person but if this is not possible reading alone for this time is still very impactful. We are doing a wide range of things in school to help inspire your child to read more. We have plenty of allocated time to read for pleasure. We have a library full of books that are current and interesting for your child. These are fully accessible and children can take them home too. We also have plenty of discussions about books and authors sharing our likes and dislikes.  

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!
