Welcome to Year 4!

Hello and welcome to our Year 4 class page!

Our Year 4 teaching team includes Mrs Hannon, Mrs Inns and Miss Little.

• Mrs Hannon will teach the class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Mrs Inns will teach the class on Thursday and Friday.
• Miss Little is our Teaching Assistant, supporting learning throughout the week.

In Year 4, we aim to provide exciting and challenging learning opportunities that help every child to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe it is important to give children the skills they need to learn, grow, and have fun both inside and outside of school.

PE

Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday.
On these days, children should come to school wearing their PE kit:

• A red school PE top (provided)
• School PE hoodie (provided) or Caedmon hoodie
• Tracksuit bottoms/leggings
• Trainers or sandshoes

Swimming

In the Spring Term, Year 4 will begin swimming lessons on Thursday afternoons as part of their PE curriculum.

On swimming days, children should:

• Come to school in their uniform
• Bring a swimming kit to change into
• Leave all jewellery at home (jewellery is not permitted in the pool)

Home Learning

Reading is a vital part of learning. Children are expected to read for around 15 minutes each day during the week.

• Each child will bring home a reading book linked to their Accelerated Reader ZPD.
• A reading diary will also be provided to record progress and comments.
• Please check, sign, and comment in your child’s diary regularly to support their progress.

Times Tables

At the end of Year 4, children will take the statutory Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

Learning times tables will be a key focus both in school and at home. To support this, children can use Times Tables Rock Stars, especially the Soundcheck feature, which mirrors the format of the MTC.

Contact

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

• Mrs Hannon is available on the yard or by telephone.
• She will also be contactable via Class Dojo messages between 8am and 4pm on weekdays.

 We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning, growth and fun in Year 4!
