Welcome to Y4 Aspen

#Y4Aspen

Welcome to Year 4 Aspen's class page. This is where you will see all of the fun and exciting things we are participating in this year.

The class teachers are Mrs Hopewell and Mr Pasdari. We are also supported by Miss Drinkwater and Mr Kirkham throughout the week.

Please find below the curriculum newsletters for this half term, where you can discover all of our exciting learning opportunities and how we plan to use high quality texts to enhance them.

We will keep this class page and Twitter updated with key information.

Thank you for your continued support.

Weekly Reminders

Monday - Thursday - Mrs Hopewell

Friday - Mr Pasdari

We will also have our teaching assistant; Miss Drinkwater.

P.E. will be on Mondays and Thursdays so we ask that children come to school wearing their PE kits on those days.

We ask that reading records are in school EVERYDAY. They will be written in periodically throughout the week and will be checked on FRIDAYS. We ask that children read a minimum of 3 times a week and ask that a parent signs their child's book to state this.

Homework and spellings will be given out on Fridays in BOOKS and needs to be returned on the following Wednesday. Spelling tests will also be on Wednesday mornings. Please get in contact with us if you have any problems regarding home learning. 

If there are changes to the weekly routine or there are any issues that arise, please let us know by contacting school either by phone or email- office@firs.trafford.sch.uk

Our Classroom

Our Reading Area

As a school, we have a huge focus on reading for pleasure. It is crucial that children read regularly, and that the texts they are choosing are appropriate and challenging for their own level. Please see below a suggested reading list for year 4 - full of fantastic books! Happy reading.
