Year 4 MTC: Information for Parents
KS2 Parent Read
Thank you to all of you who attended the parent read session to join your child in their classroom to share a story together!
Creating a love of reading in children is potentially one of the most powerful ways of improving academic standards. This is why, as parents and carers, you play a vital role in supporting your child in becoming a fluent reader who is confidently able to apply their reading skills across all areas of their lives.
The joys and benefits of reading are enormous and there is lots of information on our website about ways you can continue to encourage and excite your child with a love for reading!

World Book Day!
Swimming
We would like to thank you for your support with our intensive week of swimming in Year 4.
Your child made some great progress with their confidence in the water throughout the week and should be proud of their achievements.
Being able to swim is an important life skill to have and essential for people of any age to stay safe around water. Following on from this week of intensive swimming, we would highly recommend your child being enrolled in further swimming lessons to ensure they are able to keep themselves safe in and around water.
Please find below some information about how to enrol your child in after school swimming lessons in Swindon, should you wish to continue having your child taught how to swim.

We went to see behind the scenes of the football stadium, visiting the changing rooms, tunnel, dugout and directors box areas before taking part in a football coaching session and finishing with some football matches!
