We LOVE reading at Yarm Primary school so we had to make sure that we took the chance to fully involve ourselves in World Book Day 2020. Of course we also had the chance to see all of us in a range of fantastic costumes (including us staff of course)! We even created our own ‘mobile library’ to…

What a lovely first week back in Year 4!

The children have returned with very positive behaviours for learning and we have already learnt all about perimeter, how the Vikings came to Britain, began some wonderful writing on our new story 'Edward Tulane' and created our own 'fireworks' using…

We hope you are all having a relaxing and enjoyable half term!

We’re all about times tables in Year 4 as they are so important in building understanding in maths.

Moreover, by the end of the year, the children are expected to be able to quickly recall all their times tables to 12x12.
