Welcome to Year 4's Page

Our class teacher is Miss Dance. Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Gilmartin.

We hope you find this page useful for keeping up to date with your child's learning in Year 4. 

Please feel free to use the knowledge organisers to ask your child questions about their learning and whether they know the meanings of any of the vocabulary.

Our recommended reads are chosen from high quality texts that may either be engaging for your child to read or have read to them.

Our key texts in English during the Summer term are ‘Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx’ followed by ‘The Wild Robot’. During our English lessons, children will have the opportunity to explore a range of written tasks including letter writing, diary writing, poetry, recount writing and writing adventure stories. They will also be editing and improving their work too.
