    • Welcome to Year 4!

    Who is in our Classroom?

    Our class teacher is Miss Joyner. Mrs Williams is our teaching assistant this year.  The adults can be found helping us every day in Year 4, so please feel free to pop in and meet the team.

    Marvellous Me

    We are delighted to let you know that we will be continuing to use Marvellous Me to keep you informed of your child's learning and achievements in school. If you have any questions or would like help with accessing the app, then please do not hesitate to ask.

    Reading

    All children are expected to read regularly (at least 4 times a week) and keep an up-to-date record in their ‘School Planner'. Planners will be checked on the day of your child's guided reading session with Miss Joyner. 

    Spellings

    Weekly spellings will be sent home every Friday with homework and ‘checked’ (tested) the following Friday. Spellings will be posted on the homework page of our school website and children will be given a paper copy. 

    Homework

    We will be setting the children homework challenges to complete at home each week. These challenges will include maths, English (either reading or SPaG) and a topic activity. The homework will be added to the homework page on the website and the children will be given a paper copy. 

    Maths Fluency Targets

    This half-term Year 4 will be revisiting their timestables. We really appreciate your support and encouragement of this as it is important that the children revisit these regularly at home as well as in school. Please use the following link to our Maths Fluency page, which has lots of great links and games to help: https://www.orchardprimary.org.uk/times-tables/

    PE

    This half-term, our PE lessons will be on Mondays. Please can we remind you that full P.E kits, with suitable footwear, should always be in school and can be kept on the children’s pegs. Please also ensure that all school uniform and P.E kits are clearly labelled.

    Water Bottles

    All children need to bring a named water bottle to school each day please. 

    Internet Safety

    A big focus this year will be learning how to stay safe online. Important information and updates will be sent where necessary and the following websites also have lots of information:

    We use the child-friendly search engine 'Kiddle' when carrying out research in school and recommend that children do the same when they are online at home (link below). Please make sure you supervise your child while they are online and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

    Thank you for your support - the Year 4 Team.
