Good morning year 4!

I am extremely excited to share a fantastic opportunity the children in year 4 will have this academic year. We are very lucky to have a music teacher come to NJS to teach each class 10 weeks of Violin lessons.

At the moment the plan is as follows:

4OP – 10 weeks in the Autumn term

4M – 10 weeks in the Spring term

4N – 10 weeks in the Summer term

This is really exciting for the children and 4OP have their first lesson Wednesday 20th September. We will post pictures and updates as often as we can. All the equipment will be brought with the music teacher each week. We will go over how to make the most of the opportunity and look after the equipment with children before each session.

I know that I am very excited for this opportunity we have been able to provide the children in year 4.

Look forward to sharing the children’s new skills with you soon!

We wish to make you aware that we have a case of head lice in Year 4.

Please can we ask that you routinely check your child’s hair.  Please treat appropriately should you find headlice, advice can be found here

Thank you for your help in this matter.

As a school, we have entered an art competition called the ”Big Draw’. Each year group has a different theme and task to do for the competition.

Year 4 have been asked to use leaves and any other autumnal treasures (acorns etc). We will be using them at some point in the next week or so for the competition.

We are therefore asking if you could send some leaves your children may pick up when they are outdoors and any other autumnal treasures they find. If they could be brought into school by Friday 13th October that would be really helpful for our entry! It also gives the leaves the time to dry out so we can complete the task set.

Thank you in advance,

The Year 4 Team
