The final Year 4 blog Thursday 20th July 2017




The Roman morning and picnic was absolutely wonderful - we now have a craze of playing chess and draughts! Our dance workshop in the afternoon was fantastic and ALL the children were fully engaged and really enjoyed it! Well done and thank you for all your effort towards the picnic - all the healthy Roman food was devoured!

We were completely surprised, shocked and overwhelmed by your presentation to us this morning - it was really touching and meant an awful lot to all three of us. Thank you for your kindness and generosity, we have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your children, so thank you for loaning them to us for the year !!!!!!!! They are a magical class that, I have no doubt, will go far in life. In fact, we look forward to watching their journey throughout their school life.


The assembly tomorrow will begin at 10:10am, so please come to the front office for 10am to be shown to the hall. We are very excited, although sad at the same time!


So, all that remains for me to say is a very fond farewell, you have been "the best" year 4! We have built many wonderful memories to be treasured and it is a privilege for us to be a part of your journey in life. We will always be here for you, whether it is to share a worry or to share a success, the door will always be open. We will never forget you! Thank you.

Year 4 Friday 14th July 2017


The sleepovers were a huge success and lots of fun and special memories were created. Thank you to all the staff that helped - we couldn't have done it without you!!!!!!

Today we had our jigsaw lesson discussing the reproductive organs, puberty and all the changes that occur and that they will be going through over the next few years, as well as emotions that go along with these changes, peer pressure and relationships. They were very interested and had a lot of questions, therefore they may wish to discuss things further with you at home.


I forgot to send home the final home learning, so it will appear on Monday but to let you know - please could you bring in a cake or fairy cakes fit for the Oscars! (You did such an excellent job for the WW2 Tea Dance!) If you could bring it/them in on Friday morning please, we will have a scrumptious after show party!


Thank you to you all for signing up for our Roman picnic, in the afternoon on Tuesday the children will need a PE kit, because we are having a Street Dance lesson!

Any awards still remaining, please can they come in - thank you!

Have a great week end and be prepared for a very fast and emotional final week!!!!!!!!

Year 4 Tuesday 4th July 2017

I expect everyone is fast asleep and VERY tired! I'm sure you'll all agree the children were outstanding during sports morning today. Year 4 put 110% effort in to the playground skills and in the field races. The skills and talent demonstrated were of a very high standard, along with other values such as sportsmanship and determination. I couldn't have been more proud of Year 4 - well done! Thank you to all of you who were able to come and support us.


We are looking forward to our gala tomorrow morning (Wednesday), 9-10am at 1610 - please come and cheer us on! REMEMBER HATS, GOGGLES, 2x TOWELS FOR EVERYONE! If it is easier, drop your child at 1610 (and wait with them) so that you can then watch! We will meet outside the leisure centre doors at 9:50am.

Tomorrow, as part of our health and safety week, we also have a visit from the NSPCC and Tae Kwondo!

Mr. Whitmarsh lead our final samba lesson today in preparation for the concert next Tuesday afternoon - 2:10pm in the school hall. It will last approximately 20 minutes and we would love you to come and watch us. The children have been asked if they could bring in a bright coloured t-shirt to wear - preferably a colour from the Brazilian flag, but any colour would be fine!


We are still waiting for a couple of consent slips for the sleepovers next week.

Mr. Duffy from DMS came in today to talk to the class, along with 5 pupils from last year, so hopefully they all feel excited about Thursday - transfer day!

See you all tomorrow,

Mrs. J and the Year 4 Team.
