Weekly Update and Goodbye!

19th Dec 2024

Here is a message from Mr Folmer

Hello everyone!

Well, it's the end of the calendar year for Y4, and what a journey it has been! This week we completed our mathematics topic and our focus on data handling. We constructed our own time graphs, complete with suitable scales and labelling the axis.

For English this week we, quite appropriately, explored the poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas'. We discussed the features that we liked about the poem, how it made us feel, and we also identified the different word classes that are used within it.

Finally, to make things a little more Christmassy, we put our sketching skills to the test and we sketched out our own winter scene.

On a personal note, I would like to share a thank you to all of the children, parents and adults linked to Y4. It was an unexpected start to the new school year, however I am so appreciative of how warm and welcoming that everyone was at the start of the year and it really helped to begin the new school year in the best possible way.

I have had such a brilliant 15 weeks (it has flown by!) working with you all and I wish you all the very best for the rest of the year. Y4 is such a lovely class within such a special school, and I won't forget any of you.

Thank you all so much for all of the kind and generous words and gestures, they do mean the world to me.

Thank you all, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Mr Folmer
