Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back after the Christmas break. We are looking forward to a fabulous term of learning in Year 4. Below, you will find information about homework and routines, our year group curriculum letter and the class assembly dates for year 4. There are also links to helpful resources and websites.

Homework & Routines

Homework will be set on Tuesday and should be completed by the following Monday. Homework will include spelling homework on Google Classroom, times tables practice on TT Rockstars and daily reading.

Reading at home is very valuable and we encourage children to read regularly as part of their homework. Around 15-20 minutes each evening is recommended. However, please do not read the class texts on which their learning journeys are based on at home. We will enjoy reading them with the children in school. Thank you.

These are our homework expectations:

reading daily (20-30 minutes every day).
spellings are to be learnt and will be tested once a week.
Times Table Rockstars at least once a week.

Please ensure that your child brings their Reading Record into school, with a comment, each day.

Things to remember:

Children should come to school in PE kits on their PE days. Year 4 have their PE on:

Thursday is indoor PE.

Tuesday is outdoor PE.

PE kit should include dark tracksuit joggers or shorts, a white T-shirt and trainers.

Swimming will take place on a Thursday. Please ensure your child has their swim their kit in a bag, ready to change into at the pool. Your child will need a swimming costume, a swimming hat, goggles and a towel.
