Welcome to Year 4!

We are really looking forward to working with you and your children this year.

This term, we will be learning about the Anglo-Saxons and reading ‘Anglo-Saxon Boy’ for our work in Literacy. Maths will begin with place value, followed by addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and then measurement with a focus on area.

Homework:

Homework in maths and grammar is set every week on Google Classroom. This will usually be linked to learning in class. Homework will be set on a Thursday and is expected to be turned in by the following Tuesday.

Spellings are set weekly on Spelling Shed on a Friday, following our spelling lesson in class, and tested the following Friday. We expect the children to log into Spelling Shed at least 3 times a week.

Reading Record Books will be checked every Friday. Children need to be reading regularly and each child's book should be signed by an adult at least 3 times every week.

We also expect the children to log into TimesTables RockStars at least 3 times a week, too. At the end of Year 4, the children will be taking part in the national Times Tables Check. They are all expected to know all of the times tables, up to 12 x 12, by this point. Please ensure your child practises their times tables regularly.

Please make sure that your child has the correct PE kit in school at all times. Earrings are NOT to be worn for PE lessons. If your child cannot remove their earrings independently then please make sure to take them out before school.

As Year Four have been studying the descendants of Jesus using the Bible, we extended our knowledge of our wider Christian communities in our Modern Foreign Language lessons.  This culminated in a celebratory assembly with Year Three using our bilingual prayer skills to give thanks to God in both English and Spanish.  Well done Year Four!
