Moonstone Class
Welcome to Moonstone Class
We are a class of Year 4 children.
Our teacher is Mr Rowland
and Mrs Moore is our teaching assistant.
Summer Term 2024
We would like to welcome the children back after the Easter holidays!
The Summer Term is a very busy term in Year 4. We will have some transition events over the term with Etonbury and Pix Brook as well as Bikeability, Creative Arts Week and Sports Week.
We also have our whole school trip to Whipsnade Zoo!
We will finish our term with our Talent Show, Leavers’ Church Service and Leavers’ Assembly. Many of our children will continue to take part in collective worship with Rev. Bill.
Our main topics for this term are: Sound, States of Matter, Settlements and Windrush. We are also looking forward to starting our new Art unit called Fabric of Nature and continuing with our Computing where we will be looking at Creating Music, Animations and starting to look at using Google in preparation for Year 5.
We would like to remind you that the children will be given homework every Tuesday and that it is due in the following week.
Times Table Rock Stars and Spelling Shed should be practised 10 times each to ensure that these skills become fully embedded.
At St. Mary’s we want every child to develop a love of reading and of books. We have chosen a selection of ‘Core Books’ for children in each year group. These books are a mixture of classics and exciting new books by a wide range of authors across a range of styles and genres.
During their time in Year 4 children will get to know these books inside out, through their use in English and Topic lessons as well as being read at story time. We hope that they are also books that children will enjoy sharing with their families at home too!

Welcome back to the new academic year!
We would like to welcome the children back after their summer break!
We have a busy term ahead of us.

In Maths we will be looking at Place Value and the four operations.
We will have our own class assembly this term alongside the Harvest Festival.
Homework will be set on a Tuesday and spellings will be practised daily in school; your child needs to do this at home too on Spelling Shed.
Reading is encouraged on a daily basis, look out for our different activities to share with your child
to make reading a pleasure, not a chore.
Your child will need to come to school wearing their PE kit every Wednesday, please ensure that they have joggers and a fleece.
(Spare socks/shoes may be required).
Our term will finish, as always, with the many delights that come with Christmas. We will enjoy this festive time.
