We hope you all had a lovely and restful Easter break. We are excited to for the productive term ahead.
The Spring term is always a busy time for children in Year 4 with lots of new learning taking place. English and Mathematics will continue to be taught daily and focus on key writing skills and mathematical calculations
For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview..
​
As you know, Times tables are a very important focus in Year 4, and we kindly ask for your support in helping your child practise them regularly at home. Please encourage your child to revisit and work on any times tables they find tricky, as strong recall really supports their confidence and success in many areas of maths.
​
There will be a strong emphasis on being able to quickly recall times tables up to 12 × 12, as all Year 4 children will be taking part in the National Multiplication Tables Check between Monday 2 June and Friday 13 June. One great way to practise is through Times Table Rockstars and Maths Frame MTC test which can be accessed from home.
Year 4 PE sessions are on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Please ensure that children come into school on both PE days wearing the correct PE uniform.
Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.
Children will receive their new reading books linked to their ability from school and a library book. They will still have the opportunity to change these weekly during our library slot. We encourage your children to read as many times as they can weekly and fill in progress/ areas to develop in their reading diaries.
We will continue to send home a homework book where the children complete English and Maths homework fortnightly.
Please continue to send your child with a named water bottle, that they can refill with water and use in school. Children can continue bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack.
If you have any concerns or worries, please arrange a time to speak to one of us, as you play a vital role in your child’s education.
