Welcome to Snowdon Class. Year 4 is an exciting year as children continue to develop their skills, confidence and independence in Lower Key Stage 2. It is a year full of exciting opportunities, engaging lessons and memorable experiences.

In Snowdon Class, we work closely alongside Ben Nevis Class, our other Year 4 class, to provide a consistent and enriching learning experience. Through shared activities, projects and events, we foster a strong sense of community across Year 4.

Throughout the year, children will continue to build their reading, writing and maths skills through a broad and engaging curriculum. Lessons encourage curiosity, creativity and teamwork, with opportunities for discussion, investigation and practical learning.

Year 4 offers lots of exciting opportunities beyond the classroom. One of the highlights is our whole-class brass programme, where every child learns a brass instrument. These lessons help to develop confidence, perseverance and teamwork, while giving children the chance to experience the enjoyment of making music together.

Snowdon Class is taught by Mrs Bullock, who is committed to helping every child achieve their full potential and develop a love of learning.

We aim to create a positive and supportive classroom environment where children feel valued, motivated and ready to succeed. Alongside academic achievement, we place great importance on developing responsibility, resilience and positive friendships.

We believe that a strong partnership between school and home is key to helping children thrive, and we value open communication with parents and carers throughout the year.

We look forward to sharing a fantastic year of learning, growth and achievement with all the children in Snowdon Class.

A. PE will be on a Wednesday and Friday. Pupils should come to school wearing their PE kits on these days.

A. In Year 4, we would like children to read at home at least three times each week. Reading can be recorded on Showbie.

We would also like children to spend 5 minutes on Doodle Maths and TT Rockstars three times a week. We will send home a weekly coloured reminder slip. If this is completed and returned to show that the activities have been completed, children can earn an extra 5 minutes of playtime. Teachers can also monitor engagement through the Doodle Maths and TT Rockstars platforms.

A. The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) takes place in June. Children are tested on all multiplication facts up to 12 × 12 and will need to have quick and accurate recall of these facts. Throughout the year, lots of work is done in class to prepare the children for the check, helping them to build confidence and fluency with their times tables. Regular practice at home is also important and will support your child in developing the instant recall needed to be successful in the assessment.
