Reminders
PE: Both Year 4 classes will have their PE lessons on a Thursday afternoon. The children are required to wear their school uniform in the morning and will need to change in the school changing rooms during lunch time.
Water bottles: Kindly ensure that your child has a water bottle with them each day, these can be replenished during the course of the school day.
News and events: Coming soon!
Home Learning: All children have been given a QR code (label stuck in to their homework book) with access to their home learning through EdShed. If your child does not have the QR code then please get in touch with the class teacher.
Maths: We will be kicking off our learning journey by looking in more depth at 4-digit numbers, progressing on from addition and subtraction through to multiplication and division.
In order to support your child with their maths please take a look at the Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFS) that are a requirement for year 4.
Multiplication Table Check - this is a year 4 requirement more information can be found here MTC Parents Leaflet 2024
English: Autumn 2 will kick off with year 4 developing their letter writing skills.
Humanities: We will be finding out about the Romans in our history lessons and learning about 'The World Jigsaw' in our geography lessons, which should enthuse the children with map reading skills and a desire to get out and about - or so we hope!
Reading: All children will be encouraged to read, both at school and at home and will have access to appropriate level books from the school library.
Recommended Books for Year 4 - Year 4 recommended reads
Reading is a great way to improve learning progress in all curriculum areas. We understand it is often difficult for parents and carers to decide which books to buy for their children. The link above will take you to the Books for Topics Recommended Reads page.
How to Support Your Child at Home
Reading - listen to your child read three times a week for at least 10 minutes, more if you can.
Phonics - more information coming soon!
Maths - opportunities to practise our maths skills can be found everywhere, shops, car number plates, the park - all over. What maths can you make when you are with your child?
