Welcome to year 4!

We have good news to share!

Class 4 were excellent at swimming. The swimming teachers complimented how polite they were. A lady on the road, when they were on their way back, also complimented them, telling me they were very polite by saying 'Thank you' and 'Good afternoon' to her, as they walked past. Well done Class 4, a great start to our weekly swimming lessons!

Here you will find your homework, spellings and information on all the exciting things ahead. This half term, we are reading ‘Escape from Pompeii' by Christina Balit. We are also exploring materials and states of matter in science, as well as travelling back in time to explore what changed in Britain after the Anglo-Saxon invasion!
