Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
Welcome to Year Four. Our teacher is Mrs Hopkins at the start of the week and Mrs Cameron at the end of the week. Miss Booker and Mrs Harper will also work with us, in our classroom.
We would welcome any ideas you have for this page or anything else you would like to know more about.
Key information
Please encourage your child to log into Times Table Rock stars as this also forms part of their weekly homework tasks. It is a fantastic website that really will make a difference to your child's recall of times table facts. They are set the task of playing at least 3 times per week in the garage area. They will be given Dojo points for the games that they play each week (to a maximum of 5) and they have the chance to win prizes throughout the year.
Your child is responsible for changing their own reading book before or after school and they are expected to have their reading book and reading diary in school each day. Reading at home makes a huge difference to your child's progress, so please ensure to read regularly together at home throughout the week and sign your child's diary. Dojos are given out on a weekly basis for home reading.
Please make sure that your child has their full PE kit in school every day. This must include a change of footwear that is appropriate for outdoor sports (trainers). Earrings should not be worn on PE days. We do not have anywhere secure to store earrings so, if possible, please do not send your child in their earrings on PE days. PE this term is swimming on a Monday (however, we may do extra sessions at times so please ensure full PE kit is still in school). If you have any concerns about kit or any health problems your child may have, please let us know.
