Year 4 2020 -2021

Welcome to Year 4's webpage!

Meet the Teacher

We would normally have a Meet the Teacher meeting at the start of the year. However, this year it is not possible to do this in person. The powerpoint is available to download at the bottom of the page and it has key information about Year 4 and the learning we will be doing. Once you have watched it if you have any questions please do not hesitate to come and speak to either Mr Cunningham or Mrs Murphy.

Important things to remember:

1. Your child needs to read at home every night and bring their book bag into school every day so an adult in school can hear them read. 
2. Your child needs a P.E. kit in school every day and can be taken home at the end of every half term. This must include pumps or velcro trainers for outside games. On Wednesday, your child will need their swimming kit.
3. Your child needs a coat with a hood every day.
4. Year 4 start at 8:45 am everyday and it is vital your child is in at this time. We finish at 3:15 pm

Swimming and PE kits

In Year 4, children go swimming on a Wednesday morning at Hough End Leisure Centre. This will commence on Wednesday 16th September.

PE kits need to be kept in school during the half term. PE Kits consist of plain blue or black shorts, plan white t-shirt and pumps or trainers. (Girls must have socks with them if they wear tights.)
