P.E.
We are introducing a new policy regarding PE Kit. Children will need to come into school wearing their PE kit on their PE days, which are listed below.
Year 4 - Wednesday
This will maximise the time spent in PE by cutting out time spent changing, it also means PE kits can be washed weekly, as opposed to termly, which is more hygienic. This policy encourages children to wear the correct kit, this consists of a school logoed navy t-shirt, navy shorts or navy/black tracksuit trousers (not leggings) and a navy/black jumper along with trainers to be worn to school and plimsolls/indoor shoes in case PE is in the hall.
If your child does not turn up at school in their kit on their specified PE day they will be unable to take part in PE sessions. It is a legal requirement of the curriculum for children to take part in PE weekly.
Please visit our policy page to read our uniform policy.
Homework
Homework is given to the children each Friday. Homework is expected to be completed by the following Wednesday. Work should be completed at home by completing the sheet or writing the work in their own notebook at home.
Reading
See our English page for Reading updates.
See our library page for recommended reading lists.
Spellings
Currently we are working on ensuring that all the Year 3 & 4 Statutory Words are learnt. A copy of each weeks spellings will be given to children each Friday. Children will focus on a group of ten each week that they will practice in school and at home. They will be tested on a Friday.
Times Tables
By the beginning of Year 4, pupils should know their 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x and 10x tables confidently. Please help your child to practise their times tables and corresponding divisions at home.by the end of year 4 pupils should know times table 2 – 12 confidently.
Start of the day
The school gates open at 8.30am, where the children are welcomed on to the playground to talk with friends or walk the daily mile, before the start of the school day at 8:45am.
Break time
Children may bring in a healthy snack to eat at morning break. Milk is available for those who have signed up for it.

Supporting Your Child At Home
You will find useful information and resources to help support your child at home on our curriculum pages.
Parents Meeting Teachers
Parents' Evenings are held in the Advent and Lent terms - a 10 minute appointment with your child's teacher to discuss progress. At other times, please feel free to come and see us if you have any concerns or worries about your child at school.
For anything further, an appointment can be made to discuss your concerns in more depth, or you can email the school on enquiries@st-norberts.lincs.sch.uk
We want parents to feel welcome in our school. Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to help, for example, by accompanying classes on outings.
Birthdays
As we are a Healthy Eating school we prefer that sweets and cakes are not sent into school. This includes birthday cakes.
If you wish, donate a book to your child’s class and write a birthday message inside. Check the Recommended Reads for Year 4 for any ideas.
