Welcome to Year 4!

• Class Teachers: Mr Crowther
• Teaching Assistants: Mrs Parker-Sheppard and Mrs Bansal

Welcome back! The children have settled in brilliantly this year and have responded well to life in Year 4. There will be a further opportunity to meet and discuss the year ahead during our upcoming Meet the Teacher sessions, but please come and speak to me on the door in the morning if you have any questions or concerns.

As you will know, the Multiplication Tables Check, which takes place towards the end of Year 4, is the only statutory assessment which children in this school year will need to complete. We are giving them plenty of opportunities to learn and practise their multiplication tables at school. I will attach some resources to this page which can be helpful with supporting your child in this area at home.

Thank you for your continued support. I am looking forward to working with you and your children this year.

Mr Crowther. 

Important information:

PE

PE days – Tuesdays and Fridays

Please make sure your child brings in their PE kit on Monday at the start of the week and they will come back home on a Friday – Please make sure ALL clothing and bags are NAMED!

PE Kit Information

Children need to bring their kit to school. Many sessions are outside so please send them in with weather appropriate clothes - plain black, grey, navy or purple clothing and dark trainers please – not white/multicoloured trainers, heavily branded clothing items or team football kits.  Tie-up laces should only be worn if children have been taught to tie their laces themselves. Please make sure that children have earrings removed before school or taped over with plasters or micro-porous tape. 

Clothing

Please ensure all your child’s clothing, lunchboxes, shoes, gloves, snack boxes etc. are named!

Home/ Book Folders

These will go home and need to come back into school every day.

Lunch & Snack Information

Lunches can be ordered at home to help us to have a smooth start to the day, but they can still be ordered in class.  Children can bring a piece of fruit/healthy snack if they wish for break time, and they must bring in their own named water bottle.

Times Tables and Spelling:

In Year 4, we have an increased focus on learning and using the multiplication tables, so please encourage your child to practise these at home. Each pupil has a login for Times Tables Rockstars. I am happy to give reminders for these if they are forgotten. Spellings are set weekly and new assignments will be on Spelling Shed every Friday. Please ask if you need another login.
