Year 4 is such a wonderful year and we have achieved so much already as we head into Summer 2! We are building on all of our previous learning and having 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 regularly for 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 2024
Congratulations to all of our amazing Year 4 children. They performed exceptionally well throughout the test and showed their super times tables recall 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 Friday. Our Monday PE will take place on a Monday with Progressive Sports. On a Friday we will be consolidating our learning. Please ensure that your child has full school PE kit on those days.
