Dear Year 4,
This has been a strange and difficult time, but the children have been absolutely fantastic as always.  

During school closure
Please click on class pages on the top of the school website and click on the Year 4 logo. I hope you enjoy the activities I have set for you.
Please email me with any queries or questions over this time, but also it would be great to receive some emails showing what the children have been up to. They can send me pictures of any work they have completed. It would be great to hear from them. 

I wish you all a healthy and safe time while we are in this situation.
Try and keep smiling as much as possible. I'm here to help with anything I can.

Year 4 you are wonderful, and I will certainly miss your smiling faces every morning.

Take care
Miss Bradford

Good afternoon Year 4!

What an exciting and busy week we have had!

This week was science week where the children have been completing a range of STEM activities. The class particularly enjoyed taking part in a CSI forensic science workshop where they became detectives and had to find evidence to convict a suspect. The children were also put through their paces in an obstacle course designed by Mr Mills in aid of Sports Relief. I got involved as well and had lots of encouragement from the children when I was struggling to keep up with their pace! Thank you to all of you who donated to this.

Good afternoon Year 4!

We have had another great week of learning. I cannot believe we are now in March! Next week is Science week so we will be competing lots of STEM activities throughout the week to engage the class in different areas of Science. On Friday, it is Sport Relief so children can come in sports wear. Please remember to bring £1 donation in exchange for this.

Next week:
