Welcome to Sun Class!

Welcome Year 4!

The adults that work in this class are Miss Paull (Class Teacher) and Mrs Perry. Mrs Windsor also works in our class as a 1:1 LSA.

Your new learning experience is: World Wide Tales

Please see the Curriculum Newsletter above for more information.

This term our PE day will be on a Tuesday and swimming on a Friday. Please ensure children come to school in the correct kit on this day and that long hair is tied back. Children are allowed to bring daps to wear in the hall which can be left in a named bag on your child's cloakroom peg. We do not allow the children to wear earrings for PE so please can they be removed or taped over on these days.

In regards to swimming on a Friday, please ensure your child brings in their swim kit. Your child will need a one-piece swimming costume or swimming shorts/trunks (not the loose baggy type), goggles and towel. These must be brought into school on the morning of the lesson. If these are forgotten there will not be a phone call home.

Thank you.

In Sun Class, we support children's social and emotional health by listening and supporting with an emotion coaching approach, alongside the Zones of Regulation. In line with the school's behaviour policy, we use our traffic light system. Children regularly receive verbal praise, and are rewarded for positive and kind behaviour through raffle tickets and fishy points. When excellent work is produced or thoughtful behaviour is seen, we reward children with smiley faces.

Spellings

The children will recap spelling patterns learnt in Key Stage 1 and Year 3 . Additionally, they will be taught prefixes and suffixes from the Year 4 National Curriculum and Year 4 Common Exception Words. Emphasis will be on adding these patterns to root words to change the meaning, and applying this knowledge to spell unknown words.
