Welcome to Year 4's class page. Below you will find information relating to Year 4 life.

Year 4 Class Teacher: Mrs Murphy

Year 4 Learning Support Assistants: Mrs Brown & Mr Wildman

In our english work, we develop our reading and writing skills through stories, drama, poetry and exciting, first- hand experiences. Enjoyment of reading and a love of books are encouraged through individual, guided and shared reading activities we encourage the children to read every day at home, too!

In mathematics, we take part in lots of practical activities involving number, shape, space, measure, and problem-solving. We work alone, in partners, in small groups and as a class to improve our Numeracy skills and relate them to real-life situations.

The Lunar Curriculum includes History, Geography, Design Technology, Art and ICT and these subjects are taught through topics and key questions. We are currently working on our 60's topic. The children also have weekly sessions of R.E., Music, Science and P.E.

P.E. The children take part in athletics, dance and gymnastic activities and need their P.E.kit in school all of the time.

The children must bring their reading book home every day and must read at least 5 times a week. The children will get homework on Wednesday to be returned the following Tuesday at the latest. Homework will include spellings, english or maths homework and, once a term, a research project!

A variety of clubs are available before and after school and this programme changes every half term.

Children are welcome to bring in a healthy snack to eat at playtime.

At the beginning of each academic year, parents/carers are signposted to this website where class handbook are available on class pages which contain lots of useful information and prompts that they can use at home with their child. If you would like a copy of this, please ask your child's class teacher.

If you have any questions about Year 4, please speak to a member of our staff.
