Welcome to Year 4!

Teacher: Mr Sprigg

TA: Mrs Thurman

It is our pleasure to welcome your children to Year 4. We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning, challenge and fun! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through the class email: year4@anthonybek.derbyshire.sch.uk. 

Please see the Year 4 timetable attached above. This is what your children will be doing when across the week. Although we try to stick to this as much as possible, it can be subject to change. If you have any questions regarding timetables, please do get in touch via the class email.  

PE Information

Our PE day is Thursday. Please ensure that your child's kit is in school for this day. Additionally, make sure to check your child's organiser for the Anthony Bek PE Kit requirements. If children come to school with the incorrect PE kit, a message will be sent home via the children's diaries. 

After last week's skills of dodging, the children moved onto the key skills of passing and dribbling in two well-known invasion games: basketball and football. 

Following on from last week, the children had the opportunity to play all of the samba instruments today. Over the next few weeks, they will be taking part in lots of rehearsals to perfect the 'Groove' samba rhythm. 

How can sound travel? Today, the children used their observations to learn how sound waves travel through solids, liquids and gases. Can they remember which medium sound waves travel quickest through? 

As part of our DT learning, the children have been creating their own pavillion structures with sweets and cocktail sticks. They created their bases first and even added diagonals for increased strength. Well done Y4!

The children thoroughly enjoyed their first Samba drumming lesson with Derbyshire Music Service. They were briefly introduced to all of the instruments they will be using across the year and are excited to all have a go next week!
