Year 4
When you come into our classroom you will be greeted warmly and with welcoming smiles.
We have a wonderful reading corner where the children can lounge on comfortable cushions or sit at a table together to explore a wide range of interesting fiction and non-fiction books.
Atlases, Dictionaries, thesaurus, writing mats and working walls for Maths and English all help the children with their learning
The children have the opportunity to sit at The Achievement Table, a special place to sit with a friend as a reward for showing improved work, a good attitude to learning or demonstrating kindness to others.
