4 Pine
Welcome to 4 Pine!
Welcome to the class page for 4 Pine.
This page will give you an insight into the fun and exciting things we are currently learning about.
In 4 Pine we are ready, respectful and safe.
We also make sure that we stick to our school Motto of 'Dream Big and Dare to Fail'. We do this by showing how resilient we are and proving to everyone in school that we won't give up no matter how hard work gets.
If you have any questions or queries, please speak to Mr Miles or Miss Best at the beginning or end of the school day.

Important Information
Our P.E days are Thursday, please make sure you send your child to school with the correct PE kit. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with the children's names on.
It is important to keep hydrated throughout the school day so we have a bottle of fresh water in the classroom with our names on. We have water fountains in school to refill these when needed.
We follow a weekly timetable until the last week of each half term where we block complete certain subjects such as MFL, Art and DT and Computing. We also complete picture news and online safety toolboxes weekly.
