A very big welcome to Year 4's class page!
Each year, we teachers start out so hopeful and excited to begin the new journey with your child. We come in with hopes and dreams of what the year will be like - and all of those visions include good things for your child. Whilst we are willing to put in the effort, the hours, the creativity, the enthusiasm - having your support results in your child's overall success!

Reading Books -Please make sure children have their reading books and reading journals in school every day. Books must be read at least three times at home, before they will be changed in school. Please remember to write in your childs reading log after reading.
