Year 4
Welcome to the Year 4 page. Here you can find key information and hear all about the exciting learning that is taking place in our year group.
Meet the Team
The Year 4 team consists of Miss Winn (4SW), Mrs Jenkins (4CJ), Mrs Hotson (4LH) and Miss Offiler (4EO).
PE Kit
Year 4 pupils will usually have PE on a Tuesday. However, PE kit should be brought into school on a Monday and taken home on a Friday as it means pupils will have their kits if there are any changes to the usual timetable.
Homework
Home work will be sent home on a Friday and returned to school on the following Thursday. Homework consists of a maths activity mat, spellings and times tables.

Reading - Year 4 children are showing a growing passion for reading! Here are some fantastic questions to ask them as they're reading their books at home.
Sport Relief
Year 4 enjoyed helping to raise money for Sport Relief on Friday 13th March. Pupils donated £1 to come to school in their sports clothes ready for their 'run a mile' activity. The children were given half an hour to attempt to run nine laps of the Key Stage 2 playground - a distance of exactly one mile. We were very proud of the effort and enthusiasm with which Year 4 approached the task - some even had the energy to run extra laps during their playtime and lunchtime!
