Welcome to Year 4

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome both you and your child to Year Four. The teachers this year in Year are Miss Hufton and Miss Howe. Supporting the Year four teachers are Miss Stebbeds and Miss Perkiss. We are looking forward to an exciting and successful year.

School uniform

We are very proud of whole school appearance and hope that you will always ensure that your child arrives in school appropriately dressed in full school uniform.  Please ensure that every item of clothing, footwear and equipment is clearly marked with the child’s name.

 

 

Our school uniform is as follows:

Blue School Jumper/Cardigan (with school logo)

Charcoal Grey/Black Trousers

Charcoal Grey/Black Skirt

White Polo Shirt (with or without school logo)

Black Shoes (heels no higher than 2.5cm/1”)

Plain Black Trainers with no logos may be worn

Winter Only – Boots may be worn to and from school, however school shoes must be brought to school to change into.

Please note: Trainers are only to be worn for PE lessons and are NOT to be worn for both PE and as general school shoes on Health and Safety grounds.

Summer Term Only

Girls may wear blue gingham or blue striped dresses

Charcoal Grey/Black tailored shorts

Black, Blue or White sandals (one colour only) with heels no higher than 2.5cm (1”) White socks

PE

PE sessions for both classes are:

Outdoor Games: Thursday

Indoor PE: Tuesday

Please make sure that your child's PE kit is in school at all times and is clearly labelled with their full name and class. A Davington tracksuit is available from the school office should you wish to purchase one. Your child will also need a pair of trainers (different to school shoes) for outside Games sessions. If your child wears earrings, please make sure that these are removed or that they are able to remove them for PE sessions. Only stud earrings may be worn.

PE kits will be sent home at the end of every term for washing. 

Water

It is important that children drink plenty of water throughout the day. Please send children to school with a named water bottle that they can use and refill during the day.

Breaktime snacks

The children may bring in a snack of fruit / vegetables which can be kept in their bag until break time.

Homework

Spellings will be sent home weekly and will be tested at the end of the week. In addition to spellings, there will be a Maths activity to consolidate the learning that week. 

We also ask that children read for at least 10 minutes every day with an adult. This can then be recorded in your child's reading record, which will be brought home daily and checked weekly. We request that children bring their reading book and reading record to school each day.

There may be times when we send home optional activities for you to do with your child that support the learning in the classroom.

Reading

The children need to bring their reading book and reading record to school every day.  They should be reading at least three times per week for around 10 minutes, but daily is even better! Please make sure that you record when you have heard your child read in their reading record book so that they can get their Reading Rewards.

You can also access Accelerated Reader from home, so please continue to do your quizzes.   Please let us know if you need your child’s login details.

Here is the Davington link for you to use when accessing A.R.:

Library time

All children have timetabled access to our wonderful library each week. They need to bring their library books back to school on our allotted day as we cannot guarantee that they can be changed at other times.

Class library time: 

4H – Monday

4S - Wednesday

We hope the above information will enable you to support your child’s learning. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to come and see us.
