Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
Our Year 4 teachers are Miss Beaumont and Mrs Pearson. We are supported by Miss Delaney.
We have lots of exciting and engaging learning opportunities this year. If you require any support or have any questions, please do not hesitate to come and find us.
This year, PE is on a Tuesday. Children should come to school in their school uniform and will change before the lesson. For children wearing earrings, these need to be taken out or covered up. This year, we will also go swimming; these sessions will be on a Thursday afternoon.
Our class author is Anne Fine; we are Fine class. We are currently basing our guided reading sessions around her fantastic books. Our class reading for pleasure book is also written by Anne Fine, this is selected through a class vote system.
Homework:
- Every Friday, the children will take home a list of spellings. They will be quizzed on these the following Friday. Please work on these at home so that the children are fully prepared for the quiz.
- Reading daily for at least 20 minutes. Please can you ensure that reading books and records come to school every day so that we can listen to your child read during the week.
- TT Rockstars - please access this as often as possible at home ready for their multiplication times table check in June 2024.
