Welcome back Year 4.
I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas holidays and had a well-deserved rest! I hope you are ready to learn as we step into our first spring term in year 4. We have lots of exciting lessons planned. There will be a big focus on our reading and times tables this half term to support you with the rest of your work.
PE
PE will be on Tuesday and Friday. You will need to have a labelled PE kit in school at all times, which can be taken home to be washed over the weekend or half termly.
Homework, Spellings and Reading
As we did last term, Learning Log homework and Maths homework will be given out on a Friday and returned on a Wednesday. Reading books need to be changed at least once a week and don’t forget to bring your Reading Journal and book in everyday, so that we can keep track of the books you are reading. You need to continue to learn your times tables at home as well as covering them in class.
Times tables
There will be a huge push on times tables this year in preparation for the statutory multiplication tables check in June 2026. The multiplication tables check is an on-screen check consisting of 25 times tables questions. Your child will answer 3 practice questions before moving on to the official check, and will then have 6 seconds to answer each question. On average, the check should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. To support you in learning your times tables, you will have access to Times Table Rockstars at home and will be set a weekly times table to learn.
Water Bottles
It is really important that you bring in your own water bottle every day. You must take it home each evening for it to be washed. Normally we would have extra cups for children in the classroom, but we are no longer allowed to do this as it increases the risk of cross contamination. Please bring your own, named bottle each day. You will be allowed to refill it throughout the day, if you drink all your water.
