What an absolutely wonderful start to class 4 the children have had this week! I feel very lucky to have such a fabulous group of children to teach this year!
Your children are all so incredibly well behaved, wonderfully polite and a real credit to you all. I feel very excited to have the opportunity of sharing lots of exciting topics and activities with them all. What a brilliant year we have ahead of us!
The children have settled into the routine in class 4 exceptionally well and have certainly deserved their whole class certificate this week.
Do enjoy the gorgeous weather this weekend everyone; it may be our last sunny one for a little while.
See you all on Monday!

Our Final Week!
admin on: Class 4
What a fabulous final week we all had here in class 4!
Our wonderful visit to Greenacres Care Home on Tuesday could not have gone any better! The children were absolutely fantastic; they sang and performed so beautifully and behaved just perfectly throughout our visit. We were so very proud of every single one of them. Well done class 4; you were superstars!! The residents were absolutely delighted with our choice of songs and joined in as the children sang. They even asked for an encore!! The staff were so very impressed and are keen to invite us all back!
Our final day was great fun! We had some wonderful science fun outdoors! We investigated how to create the biggest and longest lasting bubbles and went into the forest to investigate which were the most popular habitats for our minibeasts, insects and bugs!! We had a brilliant time!
I'll miss every single one of the children next year; they have all been brilliant! We have worked hard, but had great fun too!
Thank you so much for all your fabulous support this year and for your very kind and thoughtful cards and gifts too. Teaching here at Netherthong is an absolute pleasure; I love every minute!
Have a wonderful Summer everyone!
Take care too!
Love from,
Mrs Matthews

Good afternoon everyone!
Wow! Where has this year gone? One week left before the Summer holidays! I have thoroughly enjoyed every single minute teaching class 4 this year; what an amazing group of children they are!
We have been working very hard to practise the songs for Greenacres; some of the songs have been a little tricky for the children to learn but I hope you will agree, their hard work has certainly paid off. The children sounded absolutely amazing today. We decided to have a big practise this afternoon in view of the rain letting us down today! I'm so sorry we had to cancel today's sports day; let's hope the weather is kinder to us on Monday!
Thank you so very much to the parents that have kindly offered lifts to some of the children for our visit to Greenacres on Tuesday; it will be so lovely to be able to go to by car, rather than squeezing onto public transport. Please come to school for 1:30pm if you are able and we will have plenty of time to ensure all the children can take up their places in the cars and we can set off together.
The children have worked incredibly hard on their NFER assessments this week; I am so proud of every single one of them as they have put in so much effort and are making some super progress. Well done everyone!
We have lots of interesting art and science activities planned next week so I am sure the children will love every minute!
As promised, here are more of the wonderful Cliffe House photographs for you to enjoy! The children were all absolutely fabulous and had such a wonderful time. It was a real treat to share those very special days with them all.
Have a super weekend and enjoy our Summer Fair!!
See you on Monday,
Mrs Matthews and the class 4 team! xx

Good afternoon everyone!
Just a quick blog to tell you all how very impressed we were with every single one of the children during our 3 day stay at Cliffe House. They were an absolute pleasure to be with! The children demonstrated wonderful resilience and great team work as they took part in the most exciting outdoor activities. From the tricky bed-making on day 1, to the bush craft and fire-making on day 3, the children thoroughly enjoyed every single minute. As I have highlighted to the children in assembly, our residential at Cliffe House has so far been my favourite of events with the children! We're all very tired (staff and children) but it has been worth every single second; we've all loved it! Thank you everyone for being such a fabulous team!
Thank you to Miss Monday, Mrs Scott, Mrs Robb and Miss Hewitt for all your support this week and Miss Kelly, Miss Watkins and Mrs McLoughlin for your very welcome evening support!!
Today, the children have thoroughly enjoyed sharing their buzzer games and quizzes with their buddies; a rather noisy, but lovely final activity of the week!
Please enjoy a selection of photos we took at Cliffe House; I will add more next week!
Well done everyone! Have a big rest this weekend (as will we)!!
See you on Monday,
Mrs Matthews and the year 4 team xx

Good afternoon everyone,
We have just arrived back following our amazing visit to the Sports Barn! We're all exhausted but we have had a fabulous time. The children have been a real credit to our school; beautifully behaved! We're so proud of them! What a wonderfully well organised event too! The children have taken part in so many sports activities; volley ball, boccia, cricket, rugby and athletics and have loved every minute. Below are a selection of lovely photos for you all to enjoy!
This week has been a busy one, as always. The children are obviously so excited about our forthcoming visit to Cliffe House, but have worked incredibly hard on many other tasks. In maths, we have been working hard recapping a number of the trickier mathematical concepts we have focused on this year; ordering decimal numbers, problem-solving, division and much more! Keep practising on 'Mathletics' everyone as it really helps consolidate your learning further.
In literacy, we have been using non-fiction texts and the lap tops to research exciting facts about the Romans. The children have loved it! They have enjoyed working in small groups, working as teams to research a different area of the lives and the Romans each; hopefully, very soon they will be able to tell you an endless list of facts!
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the photos!
See you Monday,
Mrs Matthews and the year 4 team xx
