Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

P.E

Our PE day is Wednesday for both classes. 4C will be swimming on Wednesdays until February Half Term. Please see below extra information regarding swimming. On PE days children need both indoor and outdoor kits as we will do a mixture over the term. Indoor - plain dark coloured shorts/leggings and a plain white t-shirt, Outdoor PE - As indoor plus trainers, and plain dark coloured tracksuit/fleece bottoms when the weather is cold.

No items of jewellery are to be worn during a PE lessons. If ears are newly pierced, they can be covered with a plaster. Thank you.

Homework

Children should read at least three times per week and have their signed reading record in by Friday morning to be a reading star. 

Times table practise is also part of their homework - to learn your times tables with instant recall click here for TT Rockstars or click here for Table Mountain. If you want to have a go at the times tables test, try this link, click here.

Swimming

Swimming will take place on Wednesday mornings.

Boys must wear swim shorts above the knee and girls, a full swimming costume. A towel must be provided from home.

Rochdale baths will not permit children to wear earrings for lessons, therefore earrings must either be removed by the child in class prior to a swimming lesson starting, or removed by adults at home. However stud earrings can be covered up with a plaster, these must be provided by parents and applied at home.

Reading

Reading skills are vital to your child and their future progress. If your child reads at least 3 times in a week, they are entered into a prize draw where they can win a book at the end of term. This encourages parents and children to enjoy reading together. Children love to win the prize book and it really encourages and motivates them to try hard to improve their reading.

Please sign their reading record book every time you read with your child and return their book to school once a week on Friday.

We appreciate your support and involvement.
