Welcome to Year 4. On this page, you will find links to our curriculum overview for the year, our current learning enquiry question and other useful information to support your child's learning.

 

PE

PE will take place on Wednesday and Friday afternoons led by Torquay United. Children can wear their PE kit to school on these days. Please see the school uniform policy for PE kit expectations. 

​

Home learning

Children in Year 4 will be set weekly home learning in a home learning book. The learning tasks will consist of the following: 

 

Ready - something to find out or do in order to be ready for next week's learning

​

Revisit - an activity linked to previous learning to help children retain knowledge already learnt

 

Revise - an activity to consolidate learning that has happened during the week

 

In addition, children will be expected to engage in reading, the learning of 5 personal spellings and multiplication facts. 

 

Homework will be marked together on the Friday. If children are unable to complete home learning tasks at home, please contact me via Dojo.

​

Reading

Children should bring their reading record book to school every day. Parents are asked to hear children read at home at least three times over the week and sign the reading record book. Children will have daily opportunities to change their reading books and will know how to do so independently. In class, there is a selection of Miss Beer's recommended reads that children are very welcome to borrow and return. 

​

Multiplication Facts

Year 4 children will take part in a national 'Multiplication Tables Check' (MTC) in June. Over the course of the year, we will be consolidating facts and focusing on the x6, x7, x9, x11 and x12 multiplication facts. Children will need to be able to recall any multiplication fact within 6 seconds. Children will be encouraged to learn and practise these facts using TTrockstars and Hit the Button. Please see the links for these below.

​​

Spellings

In addition to learning the Year 4 spelling patterns in class, Year 4 children will also collect their own 'personal spellings' each week from their learning journals. These spellings are to be practised at home as part of the children's weekly home learning tasks.
