Year 4
Welcome to our Year 4 class page
In Year 4 we are happy, kind and enthusiastic. We know the importance of having aspirations and resilience - we try hard in all we do.
Mrs Austin is our teacher and Miss Ore supports our learning too.
Autumn Term News
Wow! What a wonderful start to Year 4 for us all. The children have come back to school with a positive attitude and a smile on their faces and we are thoroughly enjoying getting to know one another and learning how to have healthy minds, healthy bodies and a healthy time in Year 4.
We have many aspirations from learning something new every day to receiving teacher mail! We would even like to sprinkle kindness and follow the Badsey B's.
We are learning to be constructive in our our thoughts, words and actions and banishing anything destructive. We've decided our slogan for the year will be 'Constructive not Destructive' and aim to share the magic of 'yet' in all we feel we cannot do. We have made the decision to grow our growth mindset to understand that nothing is fixed and success begins with believing that we can.

Reading in KS2
As a school we love to read and think this is really important. It is the expectation that children read for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Children can borrow books from their classroom or the school library. The children should be completing accelerated reader quizzes, when they have finished their book.
