Meet the Year 4 Team! Mr Buckett Miss Bebbington Mr Dos Santos Mrs Hardy Mrs Bell Mrs Forman
Life in Year 4 The Year 4 curriculum is very closely linked with Year 3 and we will be ensuring that their Year 3 knowledge and skills are secure before building upon them further throughout Year 4. We will also be encouraging the children to develop their perseverance independence, being ready for learning, and taking responsibility. Children arrive at school between 8.40am and 8.50am and home time is 3:20pm. Timetable the school day will mainly focus on Maths and Literacy in the morning, and foundation subjects (Art, RE, PE, History, Geography, Computing, Technology, Music, MFL and Science) in the afternoons. The children will have a broad and balanced curriculum, planned to inspire the children and develop interest in their learning. On the school website, there is an optional homework grid which children can access and complete. We d love to see what they produce please bring them in to share!
Life in Year 4 Home-school communication can be done through email or phone call to the office who will forward information to staff ASAP (office@hempland.pmat.academy) This half term, PE will be on Monday (dance) and Tuesday (basketball) and children are to come into school wearing their PE kits. Please ensure that your child arrives at school in the appropriate PE kit (both indoor and outdoors) and ensure earrings are taken out.

PPA cover is provided by Mr Woods (PE- Basketball) and Mrs Campbell (Geography) Key Dates Pedestrian training TBC Roman Day Wednesday 23rdOctober
E-Safety A large focus this half term, and this year, will be online safety. This will involve learning how to be responsible online, and the potential dangers and impacts of social media. We STRONGLY recommend that primary age children do not have access to apps such as TikTok, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat etc. All of these have minimum ages in their terms and conditions because they know that these platforms are not suitable for the primary age range, due to potential dangers, and risks of children being exposed to unsuitable, upsetting or confusing materials.
