Key Information

PE Lessons: Tuesdays and Thursdays. PE kits are to be worn to school on these days.

Water bottle - Please ensure your child is bringing in a named water bottle every day.

Reading Books - We encourage Year 4 children to read every day to support the development of their reading fluency and vocabulary. All reading should be recorded in the Reading Record books. Please ensure that the children bring their reading book and record into school daily. Each day that your child reads and brings in their reading record they will earn a dojo.

Homework 

Homework will be set every Friday and is due the following Wednesday. With the exception of the weekly spelling homework that is given on Mondays.

The homework will consist of book work or online tasks such as those set on My Maths. 

The children will be set weekly spellings on a Monday. Children should practise these spellings in their green spelling books, ready for their spelling test on the following Monday - Children will be given a spelling homework sheet. This is not due back until the test date.

We also ask the children complete regular times tables practise on TT Rockstars. In May 2025, the Year 4 pupils will take a statutory Multiplication Check. This is a short, computer-based assessment of the children's recall of the times tables. Regular practise of their times tables on TT Rockstars Soundcheck Mode will be good preparation for this.
