Year 4

WELCOME TO THE SUMMER TERM

Welcome to the Summer Term 2022.

Year 4: We hope you have had a restful holiday and are ready to continue with your learning journey and take part in a variety of exciting topics and activities during your final term in Year 4.

We have included above, our Year 4 Curriculum Overview for the first half of the Summer term, to let you know what we are covering in each subject and what parents/carers can do at home to help further their child’s development. Please take a look.

Please continue to encourage a love of books and reading with your child, which is vitally important to their life chances, by, for example, joining your local library, reading with/to your child, listening to your child read, discussing books and asking ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions; you can check out our ‘Reading for Pleasure’ section on our school website for further ideas. Your child should be reading at home for at least 20 minutes every day and complete their reading record book at least three times during the week. Please could you sign this.

Homework is set every Friday on Google Classroom. This links to English, Maths and Topic work. Please support your child to complete their homework, in small chunks, by the following Tuesday evening. Your child should also practise 2-3 spellings each day on paper. They will be checked on these at the end of the week.

During the Spring term, pupils learnt their division opposites for the times tables to 12.  This term we are practising a mix of times tables to 12, so that they can be recalled in any order, at speed (within 6 seconds), using strategies taught in class. This is required in order to be successful with various maths topics. Also, Year 4 pupils will be taking part in the National Multiplication Times Table Check in June. Please support your child in practising and recalling their times tables at speed. 

A reminder that P.E. days are as follows:

Willow Class: Monday and Wednesday

Poplar Class: Monday and Wednesday

Spruce Class: Wednesday and Thursday

Your child needs to bring their P.E. kit to school every Monday. It can be taken home on Fridays for washing.

Some pupils will be taking part in additional swimming lessons during the summer term. You will have received a letter about this via parent mail, if your child is involved. Please note the day, time and requirements.
