Year 4

Welcome to year 4! In year 4, we want to create the opportunity for all children to immerse themselves fully into Key Stage Two and the exciting challenges that it brings. The year 4 team consists of Miss Danks and Miss Steward, the class teachers.

Together, we are passionate about providing a positive learning environment for the children, where they are engaged and supported in their learning so they can reach their full potential.

In year 4, we will encourage your child to become more independent, not only in their learning but socially too and we will watching them grow and flourish as the year progresses.

Year Group Contact Email

We appreciate that it may be hard for parents to be able to contact us when we are often in class and parents are at work. To this end we have set up email accounts for each year group which will be accessed by the relevant staff members in response to any pertinent queries you may have regard your child’s learning. We will endeavor to respond as soon as possible.

 

On Thursday 1st February, we  went to Creswell Crags as part of their topic ‘Stone Age’.
 
During the visit, we explored one of the caves in Creswell Crags to hear stories of survival in the Stone Age. We also experienced what it took to survive as a Stone Age person and got the opportunity to become a prehistoric painter.
 
A great learning day was had by all!

World Book day is a great opportunity for children to come together and celebrate the joy of reading. Sharing a book can foster a love for literature and encourage creativity and imagination.
Allowing children from across Royd and St John’s to come together to share a book helps to promote reading for pleasure as well as allowing the older children develop their leadership, nurturing and communication skills.

Y4 Residential to The Oakes – Wednesday 24th – Friday 26th April 2024

As part of our extra-curricular activities, Y4 will be going on a two-night residential to The Oakes Holiday Centre from Wednesday 24th April 2024 to Friday 26th April 2024.

The Oakes Holiday Centre is an action packed, fun filled centre at Norton, Sheffield, based on Christian principals. It is a Georgian house set in acres of woods, lawns and a lake surrounded by parkland with all activities on site. There are a variety of activities for children to choose from including: archery, a ropes course, the ‘tough mudder’ obstacle course, a climbing wall, zorbing, foot golf, arts and crafts, team challenges, camp fires, radio control cars, wide games and raft building. All activities are led by The Oakes team and they have full insurance cover to do this.

As well as the above activities, there is also a daily meeting time, a little like the daily assembly we have at school, whereby talks around the Christian faith are given in a clear, exciting and relevant way. There is no pressure for children to respond to what they have heard, just as there isn’t at school. However, as we are a C of E school the children will be very used to the messages they are hearing.

The cost of the residential will be approximately £147 and includes the cost of the coach, accommodation & food as well as experienced staff to deliver a range of activities that will feed your child’s sense of adventure and discovery.

Further details will be sent nearer the time but if you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via the school office.
