Welcome to Year 4
Meet the Staff
Mrs Kendall
Favourite subject to teach: I love teaching writing as it allows me to see children's imaginations. I love it when children are proud of a piece of writing and share it aloud with the class - it gives me goosebumps! I also love History, especially WWII.
​
Favourite Book: My favourite book at the moment is 'The Creakers' by, Tom Fletcher. I read it with my daughter and we giggled all the way through it.
​
​
​
Favourite Author: My childhood favourite had to be Judy Blume. I love reading aloud the classics of Julia Donaldson, and my author of the moment is, Jospeh Coelho; especially his poems.
​
Favourite Song: Ah, I love all music from classical to pop. My favourite pop group has to be Little Mix, but I love the classics like Whitney and Mariah!
Hobbies: I have a crazy Cockapoo dog called Buddy, who I love to take on long walks. I can always be found with a book in my hand in my free time, and I love watching Strictly Come Dancing on a Saturday night.

Welcome to Year 4!
​
In Year 4 your child will be taught by Mrs Greenwood and Mrs Kendall and supported by the key stage teaching assistants.
Our classroom is a safe, happy and nurturing environment where we strive for every child to enjoy school and enjoy learning. We set high expectations and the children will all make progress and achieve their personal goals and targets whilst having fun.
​
We want every pupil to develop a love of learning and this is achieved through a wide range of interesting topics and engaging lessons across the curriculum. Furthermore, the children are taught be specialist teachers in a number of subjects including PE, French and Music, which further enhances their learning.
​
As well as educational day trips, year 4 will also have the opportunity to enjoy an overnight trip in the Summer term, which is very exciting!
​
We hope that your child has a fantastic year this year and leaves with many fantastic memories.

Please follow our class twitter page (@DaneRoydY4) for regular updates of the exciting things we do as a class!
