Welcome to Year 4
In Year 4, we believe in the power of learning! We enjoy exploring, discovering and bringing our learning to life. As we progress through Key Stage 2, we think more deeply about our learning and try to apply our knowledge into different contexts.
In Year 4 there are 2 classes.
|
4P - Mrs Pipe |

4B - Mr Berry |
| 4S - Miss Shoaib |
Children are taught in groups for Power Maths and Power English; these groups may change depending on your child's achievements and next step in learning. Children stay with their class teacher for other curriculum subjects.

Physical Education
Children have two P.E. lessons per week and need to have a change of clothing to put on during these lessons. In a named bag they should have:
- A T- shirt (and a sweatshirt in the winter)
- Shorts or jogging bottoms
- Trainers
We advise that children keep their P.E. clothes in school all week as sometimes we have to change the day of the lesson. Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday.
Home Learning
As part of our Reading Agreement with families, children in Year 4 will have a reading book that they bring home every day. They are expected to spend 10 to 15 minutes every day reading and sharing the book with someone. Families - please make sure you sign your child's reading record and return it to school everyday. Once they have read the book they should talk about what they have read. This could include - identifying the main events in the story and making links to their own experiences. Children need to re-read the same book over a few days to help build up their fluency and understanding of the text.
