Welcome to Year 4

Class Teacher: Miss Dyson

Teaching assistant: Mrs Gibson

A very warm welcome to Year 4 children, parents and carers. I'm delighted to be teaching Year 4 this year! We have an exciting year of learning ahead, filled with creativity, curiosity, and discovery. From hands-on projects to new challenges across subjects, I can't wait to support our children as they grow in confidence and skills. I know the children are very excited to go swimming this year too, it's going to be a fantastic year! 

Miss Dyson

Dear God,
Thank You for bringing us together at the start of this new school year.
Bless our Year 4 class as we learn, grow, and support one another.
Help us to be kind, curious, and brave as we face new challenges and discover new things.
Guide our words and actions so that our classroom is filled with respect, joy, and friendship.
Be with us every day as we do our best and care for each other.

Amen.

Year 4 key information

►Reading - Reading is at the heart of all our learning at Holy Family. To support this at home, please could all children ensure that they read their school reading book every night and that the planner is signed by an adult. Children will need to bring their reading book and planner back to school each day. 

►Spellings - Every Monday, all children will receive a new spelling list based on spelling rules/patterns which will have been our focus in class. Please can all children learn the given spellings ready for our Friday spelling tests. 

►Homework - All children will be given weekly English or maths homework. This is to be completed and returned to school as required. 

►PE - PE will take place every Monday and Thursday. All children must have the correct school PE kit of white t-shirt and black/ Navy shorts and trainers. (Track suits may be worn as the weather turns colder). Please ensure that all children have trainers to enable them to fully participate in this key subject.
