Year 4
Welcome to Year 4
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Year 4! I am delighted to be working with your children once again, but this time as the Year 4 class teacher! We are also very fortunate that Mrs Spier will be supporting your children again this year.
Year 4 is a highly enjoyable year which provides opportunity for your children to engage in swimming lessons, music lessons and numerous sports as part of the curriculum. In year 4, we will be doing everything we can to foster independence in the children, so please encourage them to prepare themselves for each school day, remembering anything they might need for that day and checking the weather to see if they need a coat.
Mrs Breen and Mrs Spier.

Times Table Rockstars
As a school, we are signed up to the wonderful online resource that is Times Table Rockstars.
It is a times tables game where the children can play a variety of challenges in order to improve their understanding of times tables. I can even set challenges!
This is a great resource to help with learning of times tables that are set for home learning each week.
The children have all been given their individual login details (recorded in their homework books) and were shown how to use the resource. They are already becoming quite competitive! A little bit as often as possible will make a huge difference!
Just a reminder, details as follows:

Church visit.
As part of local geography learning, year 4 ventured to St. Thomas Church to look at how it has changed over periods of time. We were able to find out when it was built and when new extensions were added. We used our previous knowledge to come up with thoughtful questions to help our understanding. Thank you to Fr. Michael Etuka for helping us learn about St Thomas' Catholic Church and Parish.
St Mary Magdalene Tower, part of the original Tudor church that was built in 1503 and still stands today.
St Thomas' Catholic Church was built around 1875.
The Martyrs' Chapel, built as an extension to the main church in 1963.
The All Saints' Chapel, built as an extension to the main church in 1963.
The original Sacristies at St Thomas Church were built as part of the church itself in around 1875, but were later extended along with the Church Hall in 1963.
