Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome back for a fun-filled Spring term! I would like to thank you all for your generous gifts that I recieved for Christmas - I wish you all a very happy new year!

Our PE slots for this half-term will be on Thursday and Friday.

Swimming will be on a Thursday - full kit required. Please come to school in full uniform this day. Full PE kit can be worn all day on Friday.

The Curriculum News outlines the topics we will be focusing on in each area of the curriculum during the Spring Term and we hope you will continue to support your children at home with Homework activities, especially reading and learning multiplication tables. 

PE & Games - Children need to have the correct kit for swimming, indoor and outdoor games lessons. This should include trainers (clean trainers or plimsolls for indoor lessons), black shorts and a house T-shirt. When the weather is colder children can wear jogging bottoms and jumpers outside.

Uniform - I remind you that Children are expected to look smart at all times. Hair should be tied back with plain hair ties and clips of a colour which blends in with school uniform. Ear studs are permitted but nothing else.

Trips - We have a very exciting VR day coming up and some further internal activities planned for Science Week!

Reading - The children have been introudced to a new way of recording reading in Year 4. Each child has their own orange reading record that will travel between home and school. These reading record will be monitored by me each Friday, so please could they be signed and returned each Friday. 

Below, is a picture of how we would like reading to be recorded in Year 4. This can be done by either the child or parent/carer, but we do ask that signatures to confirm reading are completed by an adult. 

Finally, please continue to share any concerns you may have as it is important to us that your child is happy in school.
