Year 4 2020 - 2021
Welcome to the Year 4 Class Page
Hello Year 4
What a fabulous start to the new school year. You have settled in really well.
Our classroom is set out differently than you used to have but you said it is good so I am a happy teacher. I think the fact that you have your own pencil cases with everything you need in makes you happy too.
I do hope you are excited to do all the work I have planned for you.
We have also been looking at our timetable and talking about the new activities that appear on it, for example the music lessons from ‘Wider Ops’ that you will all take part in on a Wednesday afternoon. You will learn to play the drums and the xylophone, throughout the year, how cool is that?
What a wonderful, different, special kind of year we will have.
Stay safe.

Hello Parents!
Firstly, thank you for supporting us all as a community through the months since March and for your continued support in the coming months.
If you have any queries or concerns please contact me via email our Class Dojo page.
If your child is self-isolating, their learning for each week, will be on the attachments below so that their learning can continue at home.
Thank you again.
