Welcome to Year 4
Welcome to Y4 Class
Your Class Teacher is Mr Hyndman
My name is Mr Hyndman. This will be my second year teaching and I am excited to begin
our Y4 learning journey together.
Prior to my teacher training I have spent several years supporting children with
SEND in specialist settings. My favourite hobbies are reading, football and playing
the guitar.
I believe all children can achieve great things! It is a great privilege to see children flourish in their
education, growing as learners and people. My classroom will be a fun, inspiring and safe learning
environment, where children are supported to be the best they can be.
I can’t wait to achieve amazing things together.
Supporting your child’s learning in Y4 will be Miss Brown, who has been working at St Francis for four
years. She will provide class support to those children who may need further explanations and
teaching; lead interventions and group work for children with SEND; and support children at playtimes
and lunch times. On Tuesday afternoons, Miss Daniels, a trained swim instructor, will be taking the
children to John Charles for their swimming lessons.

Welcome to Wonderful Y4 Class
Your Class Teacher is Mr Prior
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.
