Year 4

Welcome to Year Four

We are the Year 4 classroom teachers; Miss Hick (4H) and Mr Williams (4W), alongside us are Miss Ward, Mr Young and Mrs Bennett (Teaching assistants). We are incredibly excited to be teaching your children this year in the Year 4. We practice an open door policy in our classrooms, which means if parents have any questions or need anything from us, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can also catch either of us at the end of the day at the door. We aim to respond to any queries as soon as we can. We are so looking forward to working with your children this year, and we cannot wait to see the fantastic achievements that they are going to make.

P.E Day

Year 4 PE lessons are on a Thursday afternoon. Please make sure your child is wearing their school PE kit.

Homework

Each week, we expect each child to log 3 reads onto boomreader and play on TT rockstars at home for 30 minutes. This will be tracked by your child’s teacher. If you need your log in details, please ask a member of the Year 4 team.

School Trips

Year 4 will be having an exciting workshop in school on Thursday 19th October. This workshop will show us more about life in World War 1 and we will get the chance to see some amazing artefacts. A letter with further information will be sent out in due course.

Swimming

Year 4 swimming lessons are on a Friday morning. Please make sure that your child brings their swimming kit and a towel. Please note no jewellery including earing rings are to be worn. The first swimming lesson will take place on 22nd September Please note there are no swimming lessons in the first and last weeks of the term.

Times Tables Rockstars

Year 4 children all around the country will be tested on their times tables knowledge. Being confident with times tables helps

children in many areas of maths curriculum such as short division, multiplication, word problems, and many more. In class, we support the learning of times tables regularly. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. We, therefore, strongly recommend you encourage your child to practice their times tables at home regularly or better still every night! All your hard work and theirs will make them a Times Tables Rock Star!
