Y4 – PULLMAN Class

Welcome to Pullman Class!

Meet the Teacher Presentation - click here. Our class timetable is here. 

I would like to introduce myself, Mr Ainsworth, as your new class teacher. I am looking forward to teaching you this year and I cannot wait for the exciting topics we will cover.

Throughout the year, we will explore interesting topics through our ‘3Ps’ curriculum. Our Autumn topic is called 'Burnt Cakes’, featuring Anglo Saxon history.

Our ‘3Ps’ for this topic are:

PERSON: Alfred the Great

PLACE: Jorvik

POINT: 1066

This term, our class book for English is Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo. This is a vocabulary-rich book with exciting visual images to discuss and explore. I am looking forward to seeing the excellent writing that Year 4 will produce.

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.

School Uniform and PE Kits

PE lessons will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please ensure that your child has the appropriate PE kit and that all uniform is clearly labelled.

About Me

I am from the North of England and have been living in London for just over two years! This is my third year teaching at John Burns. I am excited to continue teaching at such a lovely and community committed school.

I enjoy going out with my friends and family, running and exploring London!

Communication

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to talk to me about your child. You can catch me at the end of the day. Otherwise, please contact the school office to arrange an appointment.

Mr Ainsworth
