Welcome to Year 4!
The Year 4 team are: Mrs Purdom in Bluebell class, Mrs Smith and Ms Ridsdale in Daisy class, Mrs Hopkins in Violet class and Mrs Philips in Snowdrop class. The children are also supported by our teaching assistants: Mrs Proctor, Mrs Cooper, Mrs Dawes, Mr Gartrell, Ms Wardle and Ms Sandford. Some of our classes are also taught by Mrs Kaur and Mrs Grimsley. What a team!
We are an active lot at Lydgate Juniors - we have two PE lessons a week. Please remember to come to school dressed in school PE kit on your day. A warm jumper or fleece is a good idea for outdoor games lessons. Our PE days are as follows:
Bluebell - indoor PE Friday, outdoor games Monday
Violet - indoor PE Monday, outdoor games Wednesday
Daisy - indoor PE Thursday, outdoor games Monday
Snowdrop - indoor PE Wednesday, outdoor games Friday
Y4 children all have the opportunity to have a block of swimming lessons over the year. We will let you know details when it is your child`s turn to swim.
We will also be working in our woods on alternate Wednesdays. Everyone should wear appropriate clothing for these forest school sessions. We will send a text reminder when it is your turn.
Homework in Year 4 is given out on Friday and due in the following Friday, except Bluebell class - theirs will run Thursday to Thursday. The children have a pink homework book; everything is kept in there. We also ask that you practise x tables - little and often is best. Weekly times tables booklets will be sent home too.
We are passionate about reading and would love the children to experience a wide range of books and stories, at home as well as at school. Listening to your child read, sharing a book together, visiting the library, listening to an audio book or snuggling up for a bedtime story all count. Our message is to read, read, read, read and read!

Eco Club
We had a fantastic talk about bees by Peter Reasbeck (Ms Reasbeck's dad) at Eco Club this week. We even got to try on the bee-keeping suit and see a bee hive. We learnt a lot and are excited to have a go at extracting honey from the honeycomb in September.
