Year 4 (Class 9 and 10)
Class 9 and Class 10’s Page!
Ms Hester, Miss Rossiter and Miss McKay
Hello Year 4 children, parents and carers. Welcome to Year 4!
We are very excited to have you all back safe and well and we are all really looking forward to working together in school, once again.
On this page you will find up to date information about our current topics, key information and dates for your diary.
Mission Statement
At St Michael and All Angels School we are a Christian Community where everybody is valued and recognised for their unique contribution. We provide a child-centred education in a positive learning environment in which all children may reach their full potential. The Gospel values of love and respect are at the heart of our partnership with parents and carers, Governors, the parish and wider community.
How we live out the mission statement in Year 4
Everyone is valued and recognised
By celebrating our differences
By listening to everyone’s ideas.
Positive learning environment
Use our working walls to help us
Listen and obey the class / school rules
Create rules at the beginning of each year
We can get help when we need it
Reach our full potential
Complete all of our work
We are challenged through our work
Complete homework tasks on time
Read to improve our skills every day
We try our best in every lesson
We take care with our presentation and handwriting
Love and respect
By playing nicely with each other
Welcoming new visitors
Including everyone on the playground
Show kindness at all times
Show respect
Cheer each other up
Take care of others when they are sick
As a School, we are currently in the process of reviewing our Mission Statement. The staff and pupils have done some work around it and we would appreciate and welcome any feedback from parents.
Class Dojos
Classes 9 and 10’s reward system is Class Dojos. Children can earn them for having a positive attitude towards their work, effort, a high standard of work, teamwork, caring for others, challenging themselves and many more. Children will be rewarded with prizes / certificates. However, class dojos can also be lost for unacceptable behaviour, lack of homework etc.
Attendance
We aim for 100% attendance in every class. We want our children in school each day so that they have every opportunity to learn and develop in order to reach their full potential. Dojos are given each week for 100% attendance.
Snack
Children can bring in a healthy snack each day to take onto the playground with them. Good examples are any fruit / vegetables, cheese, toast. Please don’t bring in chocolate bars, biscuits, cereal bars or crisps as SMAAA is a healthy school.
Lunches
For the time being, children will be eating their lunch in their classroom. Can we ask that the children bring packed lunches into school in a plastic bag so that they can be thrown away after lunch time. Monday – Thursday school will offer a range of sandwiches (ham, cheese, egg and tuna) and on a Friday children will also be able to get fish and chips.
PE KITS
Year 4’s P.E. day is Wednesday each week. Children should come to school in their P.E. kits which should include the following:
– Yellow T shirt
– Royal Blue shorts
– Jumper/cardigan
– Come with trainers on and track suite bottoms over PE kit

Also, why not try to keep active indoors, while you are at home? Every morning from 9am Joe Wicks (the Body Coach) will be holding live PE sessions on his YouTube channel (the Body Coach TV). These will be saved on his page and you can do them at any time. It is a great way to burn energy and keep yourself entertained!
Finally, remember to take time to be mindful. Spend time in quiet spaces, read books, colour pictures, listen to music, observe the nature around you. Remember, stay safe and take care.

Science 27.03.2020 – String telephone project
All you need is some string, a sharpened pencil and 2 paper cups.
Instructions:
- Cut a long piece of string, you can experiment with different lengths but perhaps 20 metres (66 feet) is a good place to start.
- Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup.
- Thread the string through each cup and tie knots at each end to stop it pulling through the cup (alternatively you can use a paper clip, washer or similar small object to hold the string in place).
- Move into position with you and a friend holding the cups at a distance that makes the string tight (making sure the string isn’t touching anything else).
- One person talks into the cup while the other puts the cup to their ear and listens, can you hear each other?
Let’s get creative!
How do you feel about getting creative at making your own musical instrument? When we discussed this in class, we shared some really good ideas of what we could make by using various objects. For example, we talked about how we could use kitchen roll holders and tissue boxes to make a guitar. Remember to use elastic bands for strings. Some of you talked about making a drum or shakers. Have a go! You could display you’re completed musical instrument on our Year 4 twitter page. Look forward to seeing your musical creation.
Remember to plan it first! Good luck.

We have all enjoyed learning about The Vikings. The unit is coming to an end. Last lesson we learnt about how the legal system worked in Anglo-Saxon Britain, so now, we have an understanding of crime and punishment in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Hopefully, now we are able to compare and contrast the Anglo-Saxon and modern British justice systems.
If you missed the lesson, don’t worry, I’m sure your friends will tell you all about it!! Which brings us to the final lesson in this unit. Have a read through the power point and complete the task.
