Useful Information
Homework - Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due in the following Thursday. Homework in Year 4 will be Spellings and Times tables.
Multiplication tables check - Year 4 will have a multiplication tables check in June 2026. This will test them on their recall of multiplication facts up to 12 x 12. They will have 25 questions and will have 6 seconds to answer each one on a laptop. Please use TTTS as much as you can at home to encourage recall of multiplication facts.
Reading - Please record reading at home in reading records. Reading records will be checked daily. Every class competes to read to their teacher's height - a great incentive for a class treat once this height has been reached.
PE - We have 2 PE lessons per week - 1 outdoor and 1 indoor. Please ensure suitable PE kit is worn to school on those days. Please ask your class teacher if you are unsure of which days.

Autumn Term 2
In English this term, we are using the story ‘Leo and the Gorgon's Curse' by Joe Todd-Stanton - a book about a boy named Leo who is brought up by a family motto to protect mythological creatures, which conflicts with the heroic expectation to fight them. He must find a way to be a hero and protect both the creatures and the city from danger even though he's been told his whole life not to harm them. The story will be used to help develop our grammar skills; focusing on inverted commas, apostrophes and different sentence types . We will use these grammar focuses to plan and write our own version of the story. Then, we will switch to our Faction unit, where we will look to write instructions on how to beat a mythical creature. This book links in fantastically with our History - the Ancient Greeks!
In Maths we shall consolidate our addition and subtraction skills. Later in the term, we will switch to area and multiplication, with a primary focus on the 3, 6, 9, 11 and 12 times tables.
In Science, we are looking at Sound. We will look at how the ear works and how sounds travel in sound waves, through different mediums. We will also investigate pitch and volume.
