Hello from Mrs Wassell and Mrs Ilyas.
Firstly, we want to start by saying we hope you are all safe and well. As you will already know, we are the Year 4 teachers and Mrs Price, Miss Knight and Miss Harris are the teaching assistants. We have been busy preparing our classroom and planning all of the interesting and exciting things we will be learning.
We will be based in the Year 4 mobile classroom and we will meet you on your first day outside this area. In the mornings, Year 4 children usually wait on the bottom playground in front of the mobile until the bell sounds and then walk sensibly up the steps to the classroom entrance ready to hang up your coat and bag.
As we are limited with space in the mobiles, we ask that you support us with ensuring we maximise the space as much as possible. Therefore, we are asking that you only bring a coat and that 
anything else is brought in a drawstring bag (lunch box and reading book and record). We will be having PE on a Thursday and you will need to come into school in your full school PE kit on this day each week.
There will be a couple of things you will need to bring to school with you: your packed lunch and your reading journal.
Your homework each week is to complete 45 minutes on TT Rockstars (it is best to do this in small chunks throughout the week) and read at least three times per week. We will check that you have practised your times tables and that your reading journal has been signed three times by an adult.
Most of the daily routines are the same as you will have had in Year Three so we hope you find this reassuring.
Lastly, we expect you to always try your very best and make good behavioural choices. We always try to plan interesting lessons and opportunities for you so you need to attend well, be an enthusiastic learner and always be respectful to others.
Key Information
- You will need to come dressed in your PE kit on Tuesdays.
- Spelling is very important, as such we will be sending home a list of key words which we encourage you to practise with your child.
