Year 4

Welcome to Year 4 class, taught by Miss Etel and supported by Miss Green.

Please scroll to the bottom of the page for weekly updates on what we have been learning in class.

Things to remember:

Please bring a water bottle into school every day - Hydration is key as water regulates the body and brain, setting up mental performance for the day.
Chilldren should have a waterproof coat in school, every day, as British weather is very changeable.
Mondays - P.E. lesson - Kits are provided and washed at school. Suitable footwear is required.
Tuesdays - Swimming lesson - Don't forget swimming kit, cap and a towel.

Here are the spelling lists for this half term. Spellings should be practised for at least ten minutes every day and there will be a weekly spelling test on Fridays.

TIMES TABLES - The way to boost maths confidence and test scores! Just as the alphabet and phonics provide a solid basis for reading, times tables are hugely important for mathematics. For this reason, children are expected to know their times tables in preparation for a national test at the end of Year 4. Please note that your child should also learn them in the correct order. Ideally, practice for short sessions each day and do not try to learn a new table until they have mastered the ones that go before. As an experienced teacher across the primary education years, I find that a very effective and enjoyable way to learn the times tables is to music. There are lots of songs available online but here are my two preferences, as they use catchy tunes, repetition, the skip counting method and opportunities for recall.

Homework - The Romans - One task to be completed each week to earn House Points for your team.
