Year 4 2024 - 2025

Mr Hasler

I love running and exploring!

Welcome to Year 4 with Mr Hasler, Mrs Downie, and Mrs Russell!

We are thrilled to have you with us and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Our first topic for the Autumn term is The World Beneath Our Feet, where the children will delve into the history of the Stone Age and Iron Age while also investigating how our earth is formed through studies of rocks.

In Numeracy, we'll begin with Place Value, and our Literacy focus will be on the wonderful book The Iron Man by Ted Hughes (not to be confused with Stan Lee!).

Our weekly timetable, along with reminders of the resources needed, is available on our webpage. I'll update this page regularly to keep you informed.

If you have any questions throughout the year, please contact me at Class4@deanvalley.cheshire.sch.uk or please speak to me during drop off / collection.
