It has been a pleasure to meet and work with the Year 4 students, guiding them towards academic excellence and personal growth. This page serves as a platform to showcase the children’s achievements and provide essential information. This page gets updated regularly so please keep checking.
Useful Information
Communication: For any queries or concerns, please feel free to contact staff through Class Dojo. Open communication between parents and teachers is crucial for the children’s progress and well-being. We also keep our class story updated with photos and messages.
Homework: Homework is handed out on a Friday. Please can this be completed in your child’s Learning Log.
There will be times tables, spelling and reading activities. These must be completed by the following Friday.
Behaviour Standards: Our classroom ethos rests on three fundamental principles: READY, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE. Consistent adherence to these rules will be acknowledged through recognition awards.
Times Tables: At the end of the summer term, Year 4 students will undergo a times table check. Proficiency in times tables up to 12 is instrumental in enhancing their mathematical skills.
