Welcome to Class Four!

Welcome to Class 4! We have an exciting year ahead and we are really looking forward to getting to know you all.  I (Mrs France) will be teaching Class 4 this year supported by Mrs Wroblewski and Mrs Penn . This year’s curriculum overview will be available on this page in the very near future once it is fully finalised.

During this year, we will have some fantastic shared experiences including our amazing London trip, fun-filled forest school days and our end of year performance to name just a few.  This is an important year as Class 4 children become role models for the younger children in school and take on more responsibility.  For our Year 6 children, this is a very important year as you have the opportunity to show off all that you have learned during your time at Primary School during SATS week and start your transitional journey to becoming a “high schooler!”

In Class 4, I will enjoy chatting to you about favourite authors and the books you are enjoying.  I am a very keen reader and am always here if you need a recommendation!    

Guitar lessons will start again this year; lessons will take place on Friday mornings. Children must remember to bring guitars back to school for this lesson as there will not be any spare instruments. Children will be provided an instrument (unless they wish to use their own - must be 3/4 size) and must bring it to school every Friday.

Homework is sent out and collected in on Fridays: this includes a home-school reading book, a spelling activity and a maths activity (either on Purple Mash or paper copy).  Please ensure that you sign and comment in your child's reading journal when reading at home.

Please feel welcome to discuss any worries at any point.  The door is always open.
