Happy New Year and welcome back, Year 4 - Hawks and Kites!

We hope you had a great break and are refreshed and ready to make an enthusiastic start to the new term .  During the first part of the Spring term, we will be learning about The Ancient Greeks and the amazing legacy they left us. To bring our topic to live, we have planned an Ancient Greek day. We will be investigating the different states of matter and, in Art, we will be drawing human figures and making 3D sculptures.  Our P.E. topics are Dance and Boxercise. 

Our P.E. days this half term are:

4 DHGP (Hawks):  Mondays (indoors) and Fridays (outdoors).

4 EC (Kites): Tuesdays (indoors) and Wednesdays (outdoors).

Children need to wear their P.E kit to school on their P.E. days. Please, do not wear earrings on your P.E. days and make sure your hair is tied up. 

If you have any questions or need to talk to us, leave a message either by email or phone call at reception.

We look forward to continuing working together to make this year a successful, happy and memorable one.
