Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

Term 3

Dear Parents,

Happy New Year. Thank you for all the kind wishes, cards and gifts that Mr Fawcett and I received at the end of last term. We hope that you have all had a fantastic Christmas break.   Your children have been enthusiastically sharing some of their adventures; what an amazing time they have had.

Thank you to everyone who came to share in our Christmas performances; our class really shone in each performance. Well done Year 4!

We are very excited about our learning this term.  Please have a look over our class curriculum for the coming term.  If you have any questions, please come to the classroom at the end of the school day. Alternatively, if you have any concerns of a more delicate nature, please make an appointment so we can talk these through.

A few things I would like to highlight;

• We have now finished our swimming lessons.  In their place, we will be having PE lessons on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Children must have their full, named PE kit in school at all times with clothing suitable for outside weather as well as indoors.
• Homework will generally be given out on Fridays and expected in on the following Friday. Please check your child’s homework diary each week for details.
• Following a discussion with each child about their reading, it has come to my attention that many children are not reading regularly at home, either independently or aloud to an adult. Please encourage your child to read at home and discuss their reading with them. Children who read at home daily have been shown to make much more rapid progress across all their learning.
