Year 4

Welcome back Year 4. There is much to look forward to this term and we aim to keep you updated throughout the year. Please check back regularly for updates and photos.

P.E.

PE days for Lemurs are Thursday and Friday. PE days for Puffins are Wednesday and Thursday. 

Please could you ensure that children come to school wearing their PE kit and all clothing should be clearly named to avoid anything getting lost. When the weather is cold, the children should come in tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirts. 

Earrings should be removed for PE wherever possible. However, Mr Gilbert has confirmed that if the pupil has only recently had their ears pierced and cannot remove them, then it is allowed for them to put plasters over the earrings for P.E. rather than sit out.

Homework

Homework is an important part of the learning process, and we appreciate the time that you spend helping your child with their homework. As you are aware, our homework policy has been updated.

Reading - In year 4, children should read for 20 minutes every day and record this in their home school diaries.  Their reading diaries will be checked every week by an adult. 

Spellings - The children are expected to practice their weekly spellings and complete one task which is recorded in spelling homework books. These are due in on a Thursday. The children can also revise their spellings on spelling shed. 

Spellings will be tested each week on a Friday and new spellings will be introduced.

Times tables-  Year 4 pupils need to practise their times tables every evening for 10 minutes they can use Times Tables Rockstars to facilitate this if they wish. In addition to this, the children will bring home a 'My times tables booklet' based on the times tables they will be studying in class. 

Each half term, we will set a creative homework. Please see our termly newsletters for details of this.
