Your new Year 5 teachers are looking forward to meeting you,

in the mean time they would like to say Hello!

Dear Year 4,
The Year 4 Team would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been sending in your work. It has been a delight to see what you have been up to. We have a growing gallery of photographs from children, check out the Gallery page!

Please continue to submit work to your class teacher by THURSDAY so we can then count up the house point rewards for sharing on our website FRIDAY. There will be a reward of 10 house points for completing the task. See the Home Learning Note for details.  It would be a good idea to get this task done earlier in the week so you meet the Thursday hand in and get your house points!

Please see below for the year 4 home learning resources. These activities will be updated on this page each Monday at 10am.

If you are unable to print these documents, you can come to collect them from school between 10am and 12pm. They will be stored under the bike racks (between Trelawney Playground and the staff car park). Please note that access is only permitted through the main car park gate NOT via the playground. 

Your children may have different activities to complete depending on which teacher they have for each subject; packs will be labelled with the TEACHER'S name, so please be aware of which pack is relevant to your child.  

Please take care of yourselves and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Year 4 teachers :) 

Active Movement :

Ryvers School is now an Active Movement school! You may have heard about this from your children, but if not, we are encouraging the children to be more active around school; even within the classroom!

We had a wonderful assembly teaching us all about 'Active Movement' and now, we are applying it to as many aspects of our school day as possible. Children are beginning to stand up to answers questions, move around to show their opinions and much more!

Please feel free to encourage them to continue being active at home :)

To find out more information, please visit: https://activemovementschools.co.uk

Important Reminders...

*Homework will be set on a Monday and is due to be returned the following Monday. 

*Children should also bring in their reading books and home-school communication books in with them daily. These will be signed by adults during guided and independent reading activities. 

*Our PE lessons take place on a Monday morning, alongside computing. We strongly recommend children bringing their PE kit in on a Monday and take it home on a Friday.   Jewellery MUST be removed for PE for Health and Safety. This includes earrings (if your child struggles to remove them, please take them out on PE days if possible.)

*As a school, we are trying to ensure that uniform is of the highest standard. As a result, we will be issuing letters should your child be wearing incorrect uniform. If you have any queries, please see your child's class teacher. 

*All money for school dinners and school trips should now be paid through Parent Pay.
