All our dreams can come true, if we have courage to pursue them - Walt Disney

Welcome to Year 4 - Dream Class. We have 32 children in Dream class this year, all striving to achieve their own personal goals. I, Miss LeVardi, am the Year 4 teacher and alongside myself will be Mr Abbondandolo. We all share the same goal - to guide, support, learn, laugh and make memories. We are looking forward to the exciting, and hard-working, journey ahead!

To start the year, we will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians. We will also attend the World Museum in Liverpool to explore the Ancient Egyptians further. In addition to this, we will also study electricity in science.

Your child's well-being is of vital importance to us and we want to ensure that they are happy and progressing. If you ever have any queries, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via my staff email:

Routines in Class

At the start of the day, children will enter the classroom where they will settle into Number Sense which is a new programme we are using for times tables this year. 

Morning break will be at 11am (other than a Friday which is 10:30am). If you wish, you may send a healthy snack in with your child for them to consume at this time.

Reading:

We ask that you read with your child as often as possible. Your child will have a reading record that can be signed by yourself every time your child reads or is read to. Children are expected to quiz regularly on Accelerated Reader upon completion of their book. As a minimum, we generally expect that children quiz at least once every fortnight. This helps aid their fluency and stamina to digest larger volumes of text that are expected within the Year 4 curriculum.

PE:

PE in Autumn Term will be on Tuesday morning (FUNDA with Coach Tom) and Friday Afternoon (Dodgeball with Rossendale). Children should come into school dressed in their PE kits. This consists of: Black leggings/joggers, PE Top and hoody, jumper or cardigan. Please ensure that all earrings and jewellery are removed for sessions. 

Homework:

Children are expected to complete 3 nuggets on Century Tech each week. Alongside this, it is important children are practicing their times tables in preparation for the Multiplication Check in the Summer Term
