Welcome

Welcome to the Year 4 Class page! Your teachers this year will be Mr Vasey, Mrs Wilson, Miss Hotham and Mrs Brannan. We have lots of fun topics this year and our first topic is all about the Romans. In Maths we are learning about place value, addition and subtraction using 4 digit numbers, then in English we are working objectives based around our class book 'The Varmints'. We are also reading 'The Undefeated' book, based on Black History.

Multiplication and Spellings are to be learnt for Friday mornings.

PE is every Tuesday with Nigel Carson and every Friday with Mr Vasey.

Times tables homework will be to use TT Rockstars as much as possible! TT Rockstars Clubs are on Monday and Friday.
