Dear Parents/carers of Year 4 pupils,

Timetables

Our PE is on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.

Please remember that children need to come to school on these days in their PE kit. Long hair must be tied back and earrings and other jewellery are not allowed to be worn in PE lessons. Please make sure your child can remove earrings themselves. 

Reading

Children will be allocated reading books at school. When they read to you at home, please feel free to add any comments in your child's planner. Children are encouraged to change their books every week. Shared reading and discussion of the story are very helpful. Please encourage your child to read with expression and to express opinions about the characters in the story, the plot, and what might happen next to further develop their inference skills.

Homework

We are in the process of revising our homework policy following feedback from parents last year. We will be introducing additional homework to all year groups later in the half term. Thank you for your understanding.

Times tables

Every child has a TTRockstars login to practise all their times tables. Their login details are inside their planners - please let school know if you can't find it. 

Please see our curriculum page for guidance and information on specific areas. 

Punctuality

We ask that all children arrive punctually in the morning. School doors open at 8.30 am, with the register taken at 8.45am. We are keen for the children to have a prompt start to the day in order to focus the children on their learning.

Health and Safety

Please make sure your child brings a named bottle to school every day, filled only with water. 

Uniform

Items of clothing are much harder to lose when uniform and PE kit is named.  Headbands and bobbles should be functional and match the school colour scheme. 

Communication

Urgent messages can be passed to the teachers via the school office, by phone (0161 338 4290) or e-mail.

If you wish to contact the teachers please feel free to catch us in the morning or afternoon; use your child’s planner and have them pass this to their class teacher on the day; or reach us through the main office.

Kind Regards,

Miss Wildes and Mrs Meehan.
