Welcome to Year 4 2020!

You will have received your Google Classroom logins, passwords and class codes if you were at school on Friday. Please open up your accounts as we will be setting all homework activities and home learning  for you if you are self isolating on this platform rather than on Class Dojo and the blog from now on.

Please contact us on the following email address if you have any questions or queries about homework or home learning.

Have a great weekend. The Year Four team.

Happy Holidays to all of you,

In just a few weeks, you will officially be in Year 5. An incredibly exciting time lays ahead.

Since we couldn’t meet in person before, we thought to send you a little video – actually due to the file-size it is two videos –, were you can find out a little bit about us.

This year, you will receive your Summer Holiday activities (“Transition booklet”) through the class-blog. Here are our suggested activities. Please aim to complete a sensible amount of them. What we would most love to receive is a little postcard from a trip or activity that you have done during the summer holidays. On one side, please draw yourself during this activity and on the other side, please tell us a little bit about it. Please bring them in on our first day back at school. We can’t wait to read your messages.

• Have a look at these packs from Third-Space-Learning.. If you had help in lessons from a grown-up, we recommend starting with Y3. For younger siblings, we have also attached Y2/3:

  • Y2-Y3_Holiday_Maths_Pack
  • Y4_Holiday_Maths_Packs

• If you consider yourself a Maths wizard, try a few tasks from the Y5 booklet.

  • Y5_Holiday_Maths_Packs
