Important Dates

Outdoor Learning: 25th February 2026
Jazz Workshop 3: Friday March 20th 2026
Multiplication challenge for parents:
We would like to invite you into school at 2:40pm on Friday 6th February for a fun Times Tables Challenge with your child. This will be a great opportunity to see their progress, celebrate their hard work, and take part in some friendly mathematical competition together. 
Reminders-
PE Kit- On our PE days, please ensure children come to school in suitable clothing, including footwear. Hair needs to be tied back and all jewellery should be removed.
** This term, the children will be doing gymnastics and therefore will need to be barefoot. No shoes, no socks, no tights. The guidance for verrucas is that it should be covered up. This can be with a waterproof plaster or tape. Children should not miss out on gymnastics due to a verruca.
Outdoor Learning Clothes- Children should wear long trousers, bring a change of shoes (so they have outdoor shoes and indoor shoes) and a coat.
All of our weekly spellings are available online. Children should be familiar with these spellings.
Times Tables: Children need to be using Times Table Rock Star for 10 minutes a day to continue to develop and improve their multiplication skills. The Year 4 Times Tables Check is in June 2026
