Welcome to Year 4
Year 4 is an exciting stage in your child’s learning journey. On this page, you’ll find updates about our topics and examples of the fantastic work happening in class. We look forward to working in partnership with you to support every child in reaching their full potential.
Music – Drumming
In Years 3 and 4, children have the wonderful opportunity to learn a musical instrument, helping to build confidence and self-esteem. This year in Year 4, we are focusing on playing the steel pans, exploring rhythm and teamwork through music.
Reading at Home
We encourage all families to read with their child at least three times each week. Children can change their banded reading book on Mondays and Fridays, and they enjoy library time every Tuesday. Please ensure your child brings their reading book, library book, and reading record to school each day. Reading records are checked on Mondays, and children can earn dojo points and reading raffle tickets for their efforts.
PE
Our PE lessons take place every Thursday afternoon. We kindly ask that children come to school dressed in their PE kit on Thursdays to ensure they are ready for an active session.
Times Tables and Spellings
Each week, children will receive times tables homework to support preparation for the statutory multiplication check in June. We also encourage regular practice using TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed, which are excellent tools to reinforce learning at home.
