Class 4

Welcome to our Year Four class page!

The Year Four team includes myself, Mr Wood, Mrs Swadling, Miss Garbutt and Miss Dawson.

Mrs Hasker will be teaching the class Monday - Thursday and Mr Wood will be teaching the class on a Friday.

You will need these things in school everyday:

A named water bottle (please make sure only water is brought to school)
A coat/ waterproof jacket
A healthy snack such as fruit or carrot sticks for break time (please no crisps, biscuits or chocolate or anything with nuts)

Class 4 will have their PE lesson on a Tuesday and their Forest School session on a Thursday. On these days, the children should wear their school jumper and PE kit to school:

Black shorts or jogging bottoms.
Team colour T-shirt.
Black trainers.
School jumper (no hoodies or other jumpers)

Homework

Homework will be set on a Friday and it will be due back in to school by the following Wednesday. If your child finds any of the homework difficult, please feel free to contact me and we can go through this with your child at school. Spellings will be given at the beginning of term and the children will then be tested on a Friday morning.

Reading

We believe that Reading is so important to help children with their overall learning across the curriculum and to inspire their creative writing! Children in Class Four should read for fifteen minutes a day to support their reading fluency and comprehension skills. Please record this in your child's reading record, we are aiming for all children to read at least four times a week. Please let me know if you need any recommendations for fantastic books!

If you have any questions and wish to contact me, please either contact the school office or email me at:

Best wishes and thank you for your support,

Spellings

Please remember to practice your spellings each week. We will have our spelling tests on a Friday.

Homework:

Homework will be set on a Friday and due back into school on a Wednesday. There will be either a piece of English or Maths learning to complete. We also have an additional homework menu (below). You can choose to complete different activities from the menu linked to our current Geography topic (this is optional).

As part of their homework, please ensure your child is using TTRS alongside their weekly tasks. Spellings will be given at the beginning of term and the children will then be tested on Friday mornings. All of these logins can be found inside the front cover of your child's homework book.

In June, Year 4 will participate in the Multiplication Check. We will be using this website to support us. Please use this site at home to increase your child's confidence in this area. Please find the link for the website below:

English:

Here is the writing checklist we use in Year 4. This is what we are working towards including in our work.

Maths:

/docs/Year_4_-_Long_term_maths_plan.docx

To help develop children’s fluency in mathematics, we ask them to learn Key Instant Recall Facts each half term.

Children should aim to practise their KIRFs at least 3 times a week.

Please see attached this term’s list of KIRFs which are aligned to the new maths curriculum. They are intended to be challenging and where possible the children will be taught the necessary maths in lessons beforehand.

If you have any questions about how to help your child with these at home please speak to your child’s class teacher.
