Year 4 2018 - 2019

Welcome to Year 4...

I hope that you had a lovely summer break and are ready for a wonderful term!

We have lots of exciting events to look forward to, the first is our school trip to Noddfa on Tuesday 25th September. We will be visiting a beautiful house run by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Penmaenmawr, North Wales.

Father Michael will also be leading us in admission to communion which will take place on Sunday 30th September at 10am. If your child would like to take this journey, please return the reply slip stating your permission. A letter has been sent home to inform you of all of the above, however if this is misplaced, please ask the office for another copy.

It is my aim that every child in the class will achieve at least one of our Blue Rainbow Challenges and be able to recall the times tables up to 12x12 by the end of this academic year, so please encourage your child to work on them at home as often as possible.

Spellings tests will begin later in the term and will take place on a Friday, please support your child with learning their spellings and please come and speak to me if there are any issues. I will also set English and/or Maths homework on Fridays, due in the following Wednesday unless stated otherwise.

It would be great if children could continue to be encouraged to read anything and everything as much as possible at home,. They may change their books whenever they are ready, during Guided Reading sessions, breaks or lunchtimes, or at other given opportunities.

We are timetabled to have PE on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that the children’s names are in their PE and their school uniforms so that we are ready for action!

I have attached a topic web for this term so that you can see the learning journey that your children will be taken on. I am very excited and proud to be teaching Year 4 and have already been made to feel very welcome.

If there is anything you need to discuss, I will be available for a quick chat before or after school or arrange a meeting if you have any concerns.

Looking forward to a brilliant term, lets do this!

Miss Finnerty
