Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

Covid-19 Update

Monday 30th March

Hello Year 4

I hope you are all well and keeping yourselves busy.

You can now communicate with me via Tapestry. I have already received some lovely pictures (thank you Ruby and Liam), some cheering messages (thank you Emma) and some amazing video clips (thank you Harry).  Tapestry is straight forward to use. Give it a go and see what news you can share with me and Mr Fawcett. It is an amazing way of us all staying in touch with each other whilst away from the classroom.

When you log on to Tapestry you will find a welcome message from me as well as an invite to the 'Virtual Theatre' - streamed on the National Theatre's YouTube channel at 7pm on Thursday.  So join me and your friends for a theatre night - don't forget to bring your snacks along too!

I can also post ideas of work you can do at home and you can upload your work for me to see using the picture or video setting. I would love to see your hard efforts.  To start us off, cast your minds back to the book Window that we were studying. It was about how the view out of Sam's bedroom window changed each year, showing how his own life was changing (marked by the different toys in his garden) and how the environment was changing (marked by the building of a road and new houses, and the decrease in the forest area).  Look out of your own window. Draw a detailed picture or write a description of what you see now.  Draw another picture or write another desription of what you predict the view might be like in 10 years time.  Use Tapestry to send me an image of your work or a comment to tell me the main differences you predicted.

Take care

Mrs Breen & Mr Fawcett

A few things I would like to highlight;

• A full, named PE kit is required in school at all times, including socks to replace tights.    
• PE days will be Mondays and Fridays for the remainder of Year 4.
• Homework will continue to be given out on Fridays and expected in the following Friday. Please check your child’s homework diary each week for details.
