Year Four

Welcome to Year Four

Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome to a new school year in Year 4! We have lots of exciting learning opportunities and activities planned for this half term, and we can't wait to share them with you.

Times Table Test Check

This year, the children will continue to develop their times table knowledge and speed in preparation for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

Maths and English Targets

All children have individual Maths and English targets, which can be found in their reading records. Please take a moment to ask your child about their current targets, as they should be familiar with what they are working towards.

Homework

English and Maths homework will be sent home every Friday and should be completed and returned to school by the following Wednesday at the latest.

The children can also access the following online learning platforms at home:

Times Table Rock Stars
Spelling Shed

All usernames and passwords can be found in your child's reading record. Regular practice at home is a great way to support their learning in school.

Reading Books and Library Books

Reading is an important part of our learning in Year 4. Children will have opportunities to read to a member of staff at least twice a week, including during our guided reading sessions.

Reading records will be checked weekly, so please encourage your child to read regularly at home and ensure their reading record is kept up to date.

Our Classroom Areas

We have created welcoming spaces within our classroom to support the children's learning and wellbeing.

Reading Area: Our dedicated reading area has a fantastic selection of books for children to explore and enjoy. Children will have the opportunity to choose new books regularly.

Reflection Area: This is a calm space where children can take time to reflect on anything that may have happened during the week, whether at school or at home.

Before and After School

At the beginning of each school day, between 8:40am and 8:55am, depending on arrival time, children will take part in a range of Maths, Reading and Writing activities. These activities will help reinforce their learning and get them ready for the day ahead.

School finishes at 3:15pm. This half term, children will be dismissed from the main school entrance, rather than the hall door.

General Reminders

Please remember:

Children should bring their own named water bottle to school each day.
All belongings, including coats, jumpers and lunch boxes, should be clearly labelled.
Reading records should be brought into school regularly.

We are really looking forward to a fantastic half term filled with learning, laughter and new challenges. Thank you for your continued support!
