Welcome to the Year 4 Class Page!

We are an incredible team of children, taught by Mrs Woodhouse, Miss Goodfellow and Mrs Keeton!

In Year 4 we always try our hardest to be fabulous role models for our school, especially the younger children. We approach our learning with a huge eagerness, always striving to be our best, keeping a positive mindset and never giving up! 

What is the Amazon, why is it important, and should it be protected?

The Amazon Rainforest is a vast, tropical forest located in South America. It is home to a wide variety of animals, including jaguars, sloths, monkeys, and colorful birds like parrots and toucans. The forest is made up of different layers, starting with the forest floor, which is dark and covered with leaves. Above it, the understory is where small trees and shrubs grow, and the canopy is a thick layer where most animals live. The tallest trees form the emergent layer, reaching high into the sky.

Many Indigenous people live in the Amazon, relying on the forest for food, shelter, and medicine. They have a deep knowledge of the land and its creatures. However, the rainforest is threatened by deforestation, which harms both wildlife and people. Protecting the Amazon is important for keeping our planet healthy because it helps to regulate the climate and provides oxygen for everyone.

Keep checking ClassDojo and the school Facebook page for updates on how we are getting on!

We cannot wait to see what journey the rest of this academic year takes us on and what experiences we have together!

Reading!

It is so important to keep up the level of reading you do in school at home. When you have read at home and get your record signed by an adult you can collect stickers on our class chart! The more stickers you get, the more chance of some amazing prizes! Also, a Reader of the Week certificate is up for grabs! What an achievement!
