Welcome to Year 4's class page. Miss Noble is the Class Teacher and Mrs Joyner is the Teaching Assistant.
OUR CLASS SAINT:
Saint Theresa of Calcutta is our class saint - she dedicated her life to serving the sick and poorest of the poor. Saint Theresa helps us understand the importance of helping the poor and vulnerable which is an important part of our Catholic Social Teaching.
'Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not come yet, we have only today, LET US BEGIN.'
In Year 4, the children have the great opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument. This year it is the marvellous Ukulele!
Every Friday, Mr Bradley will teach the children new chords and songs and how to count in different beats.
Your child can take their ukulele home but it must be in school every Friday for the lesson.
READING
Reading is so important for the mind and brain. In Year 4 we spend time reading individually, in lessons, and for enjoyment. Children are encouraged to read daily with their parents, and what they read is to be logged on the Go Read app.
When children and parents log their reading on Go Read, they can earn gems and exchange these for small rewards!
We have recently started using 'Complete Comprehension' to aid children reading and comprehension skills.
Please challenge you children with vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summary skills when they are reading with you.

HOMEWORK
Children will receive their homework on a Thursday and they will be handed in by the following Wednesday. At the moment, the children will complete the homework sheet in their books and practise their spellings on Spelling Shed.
Children will be tested on their timetables weekly using Maths Frame and Times table Rockstars.
SPELLINGS
Every Wednesday, children will be tested on their weekly spellings.
Spelling Shed assignments are set weekly!
P.E.
Year 4 will have their P.E. lessons on Tuesday mornings (swimming every other week) and Thursday afternoons this term.
Children are to come to school wearing their correct P.E. kit on these days.
Please see the uniform letter on the News section of the website if you need a reminder of uniform expectations.
ATTENDANCE
Every day in school counts, please ensure your child attends daily unless they are poorly. Where possible, please try to make appointments outside of school time so their learning is maximised in school. If your child is going to be away from school for any reason, please phone the school office on 01562 823568.
