Class Teacher: Miss Chambers

Teaching Assistants: Miss Kinder, Miss Howard

Welcome!

Welcome to the Attenborough page. Below you will find useful information about your child’s year in Year 4. We are looking forward to getting to know all the children in the class and ensuring that they achieve their full potential.

Why David Attenborough?

David Attenborough (born May 8, 1926) is an English broadcaster, writer, and naturalist noted for his innovative educational television programs. Sir David has done more than almost any other person to help millions of us understand and appreciate the wonders of the world around us. David Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain and is a patron or supporter of many charitable organisations which support conservation.

Important Information:

Homework:

• Children will have homework to submit at the end of each half term in order to promote their topic work in History, Geography or Science. This will be set through School Spider.
• Along with their homework, children will also receive their weekly spellings every Friday and will be tested the following Thursday.
• Your child should be reading for at least 10-15 minutes a night. The date started and completed, book title and comment about the book should be entered by your child. Please check your child’s reading record on a weekly basis and sign/comment if you read with your child. 
• Your child will bring home a book from the class library to read at their own pace.
• Each read recorded in their reading record will count towards their 100 reads award. For each 100 reads they will receive a certificate from Mrs Foy.
• Please encourage your child to continue using Times Tables RockStars. Being able to recall multiplication facts at speed will help with multiplication and division calculations and also with work on a range of different areas in maths.  Regular practise on Times Tables Rockstars will also support your child in the Year 4 multiplication tables check that they will complete in June.

Times Table Check:

• 25 Questions
• Completed on a tablet in June
• 6 seconds per question
• All times tables up to 12x12

Other information

• On Tuesday and Friday when children have PE, we will allow children to come into school wearing their PE Kit.
