Welcome to Year 4!
We are looking forward to working together so that we have an exciting and productive year.
PE in Year 4 4M will have an indoor P.E lesson on a Monday morning and an outdoor P.E lesson on a Friday afternoon. The children will require to come to school in their school P.E kit and suitable footwear for both their indoor and outdoor lessons. Homework in Year 4
In Year 4, children should focus on consolidating and reinforcing the learning they have covered in school throughout the week. They will also continue to develop their times tables skills through Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS). Children should access TTRS three times per week to support their fluency, accuracy and confidence with multiplication and division facts.
Weekly Homework
Year 4 children will receive homework every Friday afternoon, which should be completed and returned to school by Wednesday at the latest.
The weekly homework will consist of:
· One side of Mathematics, focusing on the learning covered in school that week.
· One side of SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar), based on the learning completed in school that week.
The purpose of the homework is to reinforce key knowledge and skills taught in class and provide children with an opportunity to practise and consolidate their learning at home.
Reading
Children should bring their reading book and reading diary into school once they have finished their school reading book so that it can be exchanged for a new one.
The teacher will record the name of the new book in the reading diary. Parents and carers are asked to use the comment section to provide a brief comment about how their child has read and to record the number of pages read.
Please note that the reading diary is specifically for recording reading completed using school reading books.
Keeping Up to Date
Please look out for regular updates on our ClassDojo page, as well as our school's Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) pages. These are a great way to keep up to date with what is happening in Year 4 and gain an insight into the children's learning and experiences in school!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
