Welcome to Year 4
Hello all,
My name is Mrs Cole and I have taught in Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6. I’ve been at St Francis of Assisi for 6 years now and will be teaching Y4 this year.
I wasn’t always a teacher; I have had some other very interesting jobs too. I’ve travelled to and lived in different countries, so can share interesting facts and stories. I enjoy geography and researching into different cultures; you’ll be able to share some of your own knowledge and cultural stories.
I love reading and will be asking you to recommend books for me, as I do the same for you. A funny novel, or an adventure are always a hit. Picture books are also a favourite.

We have begun to explore our new class text. Looking at six of the illustrations, we added our inital thoughts and noun phrases to them. This is one of the the images. We’re looking forward to finding out more about the book and will write our own short story in a similar style.
We learnt all about Vincent Van Gogh and after practising his techniques of mixing different shades and tones of yellow, we recreated one of his most famous paintings, Sunflowers.
Please have a look at our suggested reading lists for children in Year 4. These books are a range of bestselling picture books and longer texts to encourage both shared reading, individual reading and reading for pleasure.
