About Us
Year 4 are split into Swifts taught by Miss Ryan and Swallows taught by Miss Meehan. Children are supported by Mrs Gowdra Prakash. Mrs Russell teaches music and our sports coach, Mr Collings, teaches PE.
P.E.
Our P.E day is Monday Children should come to school in their school P.E. kit on this day if they are taking part. Please ensure earrings are removed.
Year 4 will also do one term of swimming lessons.
Our Learning
Homework is set every Friday. Everything children need is here:
Times Tables -
Use Times Table Rock Stars in garage mode for at least 5 minutes a day. Other modes can be used for extra practice but garage mode focuses on the times tables children need to practise next. Children's username and passwords are stuck in the back of their reading diaries. Children will have a weekly times table test on Fridays. Year 4 students across England sit a statutory Multiplication Test Check (MTC) in June.
Log in into TTRS here.
📚Independent Reading
Aim to listen to your child read aloud for at least 10 minutes a day. Children will have a banded reading book and a self-chosen book from our school or class library. Please ensure that reading diaries and reading books are taken and brought back each day.
🎯Spelling
Use Spelling Shed to practise this week's spelling rule - found under 'assignments'.
Our new spellings set on Friday 4th July are revision words.
The words are: incorrect, illegible, subject, international, believe, preparation, coronation, wildly, bravely, thoughtfully.
Children should learn these words for their test on the following Thursday.
Log in to Spelling Shed here. Year 4 News
Thank you to those who joined us for our parent information evening on Wednesday 10th September. A summary of the meeting is available below.
Further information about the Multiplication Check Test sat by Year 4 students in June, will be provided in the second Autumn half-term.
Handwriting
Whilst children may begin to select and develop their own styles in later years, to meet the expected standard in English, they must use the correct letter formation and join their handwriting. As a school, we have adopted the Nelson Handwriting scheme. Students are already making fantastic progress with their letter formation and joined handwriting.
Dots indicate 'breaks' where the pencil is lifted and no join is made to the next letter.
Further information from the schemes creator, Oxford Owls, is available on their website. They provide example activities but, should you have further questions about how to support your child at home, please speak to your child's class teacher.
