I am Miss Witt and I am really looking forward to teaching Year 4 this year. It will be a year filled with new learning opportunities, challenges and memorable experiences.

Throughout the year, we will explore interesting topics through our ‘3Ps’ curriculum: Person, Place and Point. Our topic for this term is “Burnt Cakes”. During the Autumn Term, we will focus on:

Person: Alfred the Great

Point: 1066 CE

Place: Jorvik 

This term, our class books for English are ‘Beowulf’ by Michael Morpurgo,  ‘The Last Bear’ by Hannah Gold and ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ by Phillip Pullman. We will explore these fantastic stories together and use them as inspiration for our writing lessons.

Homework

A homework task and a maths task will be given out every week to be returned and checked the following Wednesday.

As well as a homework task, the children are expected to read at home to an adult for 15 minutes every day. It would also benefit your child if you read to them during this time. This will be checked daily through the children’s reading records. 

In Year 4, children must learn their spellings. Spellings will be tested weekly. Please ensure your child is practising these at home. Their spellings will be in the back of their homework books.

School Uniform and PE Kits

PE lessons will take place on Monday and Thursday afternoons. Please ensure that your child has the appropriate PE kit and that all pieces of uniform are clearly labelled.

About me:

I am from Bedford and have been teaching there for the last 3 years. I’ve also previously lived in Manchester, where I went to university. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and I love to read.

I also love to travel and explore new places, especially through cycling and running. I am really looking forward to living in London and working in such a wonderful community.
