Hot Weather Update
4EVA Active Day - 11.7.25
Due to the forecast of extremely hot weather tomorrow, the organisers of the day have moved four of the activities inside to avoid time in soaring temperatures and direct sunlight.
We are assured that your child/children will not be outside for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
You can also help your child by providing a sun hat and applying sun cream. Please send more if you would like them to reapply during the day.
There will be water stations available throughout the day so please ensure your child has refillable bottle or plenty to drink as an alternative.
There are indoor spaces available during breaks and lunchtimes for necessary shade.
It is always an active and enjoyable day as we approach the end of the school year.
Thank you for your support in these necessary safety precautions as we all try to enjoy the beautiful weather.
Mrs Bee's Class had a wonderful time at Cliffe House in April 2025

About Year 4.....
Year 4 is such an amazing and exciting year where we learn lots of new skills.
Within Music lessons, we are taught by a music specialist how to play both the ukulele and the clarinet. As part of our Cliffe House residential trip, we practise resilience and independence whilst participating in a wide range of wonderful outdoor activities. And finally, we gain a deeper understanding of History based topics such as The Romans.
At the end of Year 4 we also now have a new Multiplication Tables Check (MTC), so we work really hard on making sure we know all of our times tables as we know this helps us with our Maths as we move up through school.
Take a look at the pictures and information on the page to find out more about Year 4.

Mystery Read 
At Rowley Lane, we encourage a love of reading both at school and at home.
We are asking each child to read at least 60 minutes a week and for parents/carers to sign when they have done so in their Reading Record.

Please support your child to complete their
challenge.
