Welcome to Year 4!

Due to the weather conditions on Tuesday 6th January we are going to be learning remotely. Here are some useful links to help you during the day. Mr Wrigley and Mr Vanstone would love to see and hear about what you have been doing when we return to school.

In Year 4, we have two classes:

Class 4J - Mr. Vanstone

Class 4W - Mr. Wrigley

The classes are supported by Miss Tara

Dropping off and picking up:

All pupils in 4W will need to enter through the rear POD doors, near the astroturf, between 8:45am and 9:00am. Pupils in 4V will need to enter at the side gate closest to the barrier and meet Mr Vanstone by his classroom door. Pupils arriving after 9:00am will have to go to the office to sign in. It is vital for the pupils to arrive promptly as they will not want to miss out on the early doors activities and additional learning time. At 3:15pm, all children will need to be collected from the same place as drop-off.

Year 4 now have PE ONCE a week on Tuesdays. Where possible, PE will be outside so please ensure they have tracksuit bottoms and a suitable top available now the weather has turned colder. Please also ensure that they come into school with the correct PE kit. All earrings are to be taken out for PE and children with long hair will be asked to tie their hair up.

Staying hydrated

Please ensure that your child comes to school with a water bottle so they can hydrate throughout the day. We ask that they do not bring in fizzy drinks, chocolate milk or energy drinks.

Multiplication Tables Check

In June, Year 4 pupils will undertake the Multiplication Tables Check. We will be preparing the children to take this test throughout the year and will be encouraging them to continue preparing at home by logging onto TT Rockstars.
