Welcome to Tiger Class, which is made up of 30 Year 4 children. Our class teacher is Miss Marriott and our teaching assistants are Mrs Henson and Mrs Ashton. Miss Marriott will be teaching the class Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Every Tuesday, we are very lucky as Mrs Henson will be teaching during Miss Marriott's PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) time.
Alongside our Class Page, we also share information and updates on Class Dojo. Please make sure you are connected on there so that you can see what we get up to. Please feel free to send me a message on Class Dojo or via my school email which you will see below.

Spelling:
Spelling lists of 10 spellings, following a set rule, will be given out each week. Each list will be given out and placed in reading diaries to learn by the following week. One way of learning the spellings can be by using their Spelling Shed account.
Most of the lists, aside from when we cover the Year 3 and 4 statutory words lists, have an extra 'super speller' challenge to think of three extra words that follow the same given rule to learn. If the children can spell the extra words correctly in their spelling test they can gain a merit!
Spelling Lists will be added here in September to also access if you miss a week in your reading diary.
