Year 4 – Team Inspiration

Team Inspiration Introduction:-

Welcome to Team Inspiration,

We are very excited to welcome you all back into our school! Although things may be slightly strange compared to normal, we are making sure that you all feel comfortable settling back into the school. You will be able to learn in a safe, caring and fun environment.

We will be spending the first two weeks settling back in; learning the new expectations and understanding what our team name actually means. Our inspirational person, who links to our Team name, is Katherine Johnson. (Pictured above.) She was a very interesting woman who made great changes in the world. Katherine faced a lot of discrimination but she did not let that stop her. She rose to the challenge and proved a lot of people wrong. Throughout the year, we will also be looking at the BLM movement linked to our topics.

We will be adding photos and videos of all the fun activities Team Inspiration will be taking part in. This page will also showcase the amazing work that the children will be completing. The website will be updated regularly so please keep checking back for the latest work. :-)

The adults working with Year 4 this year are: Miss Boden, Mrs Radford, Ms Street and Mrs Newton. Please feel free to contact us or book an appointment to ask us any questions you may have.

Miss Boden :-)
