to Year 4!
The class teacher is Mrs Howard
Here is what some children say about Year 4:
"I like learning about big numbers in the thousands"
"I feel happy in Year 4 because we do fun things in the morning like 9 Letter Word" (word puzzles)
"I like all the different things we learn about and every day is exciting"
Curriculum
PE days for Year 4 are on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure kits are in school and earrings are removed. Swimming Lessons will take place on Thursdays at Cardinal Wiseman School at 9am. Please provide a swimming costume or trunks, a towel and preferably a swimming hat. Children can bring goggles if they wish.

Reading
Did you know reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child's future success - more than their family circumstances, their parents' educational background or their income?
At Maryvale, we want our children to develop a life-long habit of reading for pleasure and benefit from the improved life chances this brings them.
To support families at home to develop a love for reading, we have put together an area on our website full of stories to access at home, including stories read by our wonderful staff!
Home Learning
Homework will be set each Friday to be completed for the following Friday. Please log on to MyMaths using the link below for maths homework. Spellings will be sent home for the children to learn before spelling tests on the following Friday.
Children are expected to read both their Home Reading Book and Reading for Pleasure Book multiple times a week and record their understanding in their Reading Journals. Please may this be signed weekly by parents/guardians.
