I hope it will be an exciting year where the Year 4 children continue to learn, develop their skills and have fun. If you have any questions please talk to the Year 4 class teachers. 

Forest School

Year 4 attend Forest School on a Monday in their houses, on a 3 week rotation. For more information about Forest School visit our Forest School page here. To view the latest Forest School timetable click here. 

School uniform

Information on our school uniform can be viewed by clicking here. Specific things to note for year 4 are they require a Bridgewater rucksack and trainers, not plimsolls. Please keep a pair of wellies and waterproofs at school as we're often out in all weathers.

Pupils in year 4 who represent the school in sports matches such as cross country, etc may wear 'Team Bridgewater' kit. This is all optional and available from Mapac.

Use of reading record books

Reading record books are to be used to record reading at home and this should include the book title and chapter, or page numbers and should be recorded at least 3 times a week and initialled by parents. Reading records need to be signed by parents at the end of each week ready for the teacher to review. 

Reading records may also be used for notifying us of changes of going home arrangements etc. Alternatively, you can email admin@bridgewater.herts.sch.uk or leave a message on the school's answer machine. 

Home learning

As well as reading, your child will also receive weekly home learning (spelling and times table task) which is expected to take around 20 mins.  Plus daily practise of year 4 spellings.
