Year 4
Welcome to our Year 4 class page!
Class Teacher - Mrs Sharrock
Teaching Assistant - Ms Burrows
Year 4 is such a wonderful year and we are really looking forward to our new learning and exciting times to come. We are building on all of our previous learning in Year 3 and will have lots of fun along the way. We love sharing our work with you as we continue through our busy year. Make sure you check out our webpage and X (formerly Twitter) for regular updates and new pictures of your child's learning. From making electrical circuits in Science to creating Festival Feasts with clay, our learning is always interesting!

Homework expectations for Year 4
Times tables MTC June 2025
We will be taking the national Multiplication Test Check in June 2025. This is an online test which children complete in school. Our children will have lots of practice beforehand and there's no time like the present to start practicing those times tables skills.
Spellings
We will also send home spellings on a Monday for a spelling test on the following Monday. If your child doesn't do as well as we know they can with their spellings, they will be retested on the following Wednesday. Please practice their spellings with them as this helps them greatly in their other lessons.
PE
During Summer term we have PE on a Monday and a Thursday. Our Monday PE will take place on a Monday with Progressive Sports. On a Thursday we will be consolidating our learning. Please ensure that your child has full school PE kit on those days.
