Hello Year 4,

we hope you and your families are safe and well?  It is July already!  We can't believe it is nearly the end of the school year!

As we now know, year four pupils will not be returning to school immediately (except for key worker families) so we will add further activities for you to have a look at (keep checking each folder) but remember they are not compulsory.

Welcome back!

 

It is lovely to welcome all the children into year 4. They have all grown so much!

The children have all settled in beautifully and are working hard. We have a very busy term ahead moving forward with all aspects of the curriculum. 

We will be investigating The River Mersey and why it is so important to Liverpool. We will be visiting The Beatles Museum and the waterfront. We will be reliving the music of The Beatles and the 1960's. 

PE lessons will take place each Thursday and full kit is required.

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Year 4 Staff.
