Welcome to Year 4!

 and

New lessons on BBC Bitesize:

From 20th April, you’ll be able to access regular daily lessons in English and Maths, as well as other core subjects, on the BBC website and also on special programmes broadcast on BBC iPlayer and BBC Red Button.

If you use the link above, you can already see some of the activities (and teaching to go with it) that the BBC are providing. As teachers, we will be exploring what the BBC have to offer at the same time as you.

As well as or instead of the current English and Maths activities which have been set, we are recommending that you investigate the daily lessons and activities that the BBC are providing.

We will maintain our activity on our SeeSaw pages and would love to see what you are getting up to so please upload any photos, stories, art or anything else for us all to see and enjoy.
