In Year 4, your child is encouraged to become an independent reader.  Reading as regularly as possible at home will help to support your child’s learning in school.  There is less emphasis on hearing individual readers in Year 4, unless children need specific support. Instead, the focus is on class texts and reading comprehensions sessions where there will be discussion about author intent, language used, inference, and deduction skills. The children read a range of texts as a class, providing further opportunities for us to monitor and assess your child’s reading.

Please make sure that your child brings their reading book into school each day.

Mondays: Girls Football, Karate

Tuesdays: Drama, Boys Football, British Sign Language

Wednesday: Chess mates, Camera Club, Singing

Thursday: Young Voices

Friday: Acro 

Regular reading with an adult at home.

Supporting your child to learn weekly spellings and times tables facts.

Supporting your child with homework tasks. 

Homework is set on a Friday and is usually a piece of mathematics and a piece of work linked to our Foundation subjects. It is linked to work that has been done in the class or can be in preparation for work that will be done. Ideally, the children should spend no more than 45 mins completing it.  Homework should be handed in by Wednesday.  Please take good care of homework folders and maths homework books as these need to last all year.

SeeSaw

Sometimes homework may be loaded onto the SeeSaw platform.  Your child will receive log-in details at the start of each year.

Spellings

The children will be screened in spellings and put into an appropriate group.  They will be tested weekly on Fridays.

Each Year 4 class usually has two sessions of P.E. during the week.  The children need to wear their kit into school on their PE day. The children will need shorts for the summer and tracksuit bottoms / joggers during the winter. All kit should be school uniform (either plain or with the school logo) – no sports branded items please.

Swimming will take place every Monday in the spring term, and you will receive a letter near the time.

4EG – Tuesdays

4CH – Tuesdays

4PH - Tuesdays

Music

Year Four have a wonderful opportunity to take part in the ‘Play to Learn’ scheme during one term of Y4. Your child will participate in whole class sessions to learn the ukulele.

Music, Computing and French taught by specialist teachers.

This year the children will be assessed in a national multiplication test. This will take place in the Summer Term. We will be asking the children to learn and rapidly recall all of the multiplication tables up to 12x12.
