Rabbit Class
Class teacher’s welcome
Welcome to Rabbit class!
In Year 4, the children will continue to build on their journey through Key Stage 2. Throughout the year, we will help the children to grow and develop socially and academically, build their independence and continue to foster their love of learning.

Home Learning
All children are encouraged to complete a home learning project to build on their class History and/or Science learning.
Ideas include…
- Create a brochure on famous landmarks in different counties in Yorkshire.
- Research famous artists in Yorkshire and re-create a piece of art work in their style.
These projects are designed to run alongside the learning for a half-term and should be handed in on or before Friday 20th December. We look forward to inviting you into school at the end of the term to share the children’s projects.
