Year 4
To contact Mr Atkinson, please email latkinson@cashesgreen-pri.gloucs.sch.uk
Reading Record day is a Thursday. Children can write what they have read but this must still be signed by an adult please.
In Year 4 we will focus lots on Times Tables! You can support your child by practising Times Tables at home. By the end of Year 4, children are required to know all their tables up to 12X12 and will have a formal test in June. Here are some websites you can use to help.

https://www.timestables.co.uk/ - A wide range of games and recall opportunities

We use the mathsframe website for our test at school as this simulates the speed recall required for the end of year test.
PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD HAS A PAIR OF WELLIES IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY WHICH THEY CAN WEAR ON THE FIELD - WE WILL BE USING IT IN ALL WEATHER. These should be named and placed on the Y4 welly rack outside.
PE day this term is a Wednesday. Please send your child into school wearing PE kit and trainers.
Forest School will be on a Thursday this term. Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat and wellies for these sessions. Children can also wear any other warm or waterproof clothing they bring from home.

Welcome to Year 4 with class teacher, Mr Atkinson! Other staff in the class are Miss Stanley, Mr Minnion, Mrs Twinning and Mrs Bennett (teaching every Thursday and on alternate Tuesdays). We are all really excited for a brilliant year ahead!
What a fantastic start to the year we have had! The class has done a fantastic job at settling into Year 4 and has produced some super work already! In Science, we have been exploring sound and made slo-mo videos to show the vibrations caused by hitting a drum or strumming an elastic band. In History lessons, we have been exploring the aftermath of the Roman Empire and the emergence of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain. We have had a fantastic Anglo-Saxon workshop in school today too.
We have Forest School with Mr Atkinson and Mrs Leach every Thursday this term - a few photos of activities are below!
