Welcome to Year 4

We are so excited for this new Year and can't wait to get to know you all! 

The teachers in the team are:

4C- Mr Cochrane

4H- Miss Hamer

4OR- Mrs Oliver and Mrs Roper

(Mrs Oliver is in school on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Roper on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.)

Your child should now know what group they are in and when they are attending Astley Burf. Please watch the video above for more information. If you have any questions then please email the Year 4 mail box at newfieldy4@newfield.dudley.sch.uk.

See below for a copy of the kit list. 

Whilst your child is at Astley Burf they can wear their own clothes but these must be suitable for moving around and doing PE based activities. Please note children are not allowed to bring electronic items with them or anything of value but they may wish to bring a book to read before going to bed. We also advise that jewellery or earrings aren’t worn. Please see the kit/equipment list below for more details.

PE

Our PE days are on a Monday and a Friday. 

 Monday the activities will be outdoor PE or swimming. (Letters will be sent home to let you know of the dates that you child is swimming.) This term it is 4H and half of 4OR. 

Friday- Indoor PE

Please make sure that your child comes into school  in their PE kit on their PE days. Any long hair must be tied back and if possible, could earrings be taken out as well. 

Library Books and Reading Records

*Please make sure that Library books and Reading Records are in school every day because we are starting a new initiative called DEAR (Drop Everything And Read). 

*New books will be issued each week, if you have finished reading your book and returned it.

*Each time you read, log the reading with a short note next to the date. This will count towards your certificates! Which class will be on the top of the Reading points chart at half term?
