Attendance Matters 

Each week we are expected to have a whole class attendance of over 95%.

Your child's attendance is very important! They must be at school every day at 8.40 am. Lessons begin just after 8.45 am so they need to be here, ready for a fun-filled day of learning!

Timetable

We begin each morning with reading - this is the time your child will change their home reading book if necessary. Then we have an assembly, RAMP or Spelling, English, Fluency and Power Maths lessons before lunchtime. In the afternoons, we study the foundation subjects such as Art, Science, History, Geography, RE, Music, RHE and PE. We have a class story every day.

Reading

As well as reading regularly at school, children are expected to read as often as possible at home too. This might not always be their reading book, but reading diaries can still be signed so children can move up the Reading Challenge! This is especially important in Year 4 to support their progress through KS2. Children should have their books in school every day.

Thursday will be our library day, every child will have the opportunity to visit the school library and loan a book for a week. This book can be used for story time at home and is not linked to the child's reading ability and scheme. Please ensure library books are returned every Thursday so that your child can choose a new story; they will only be able to loan one book at a time.

It's also important to make time to share stories together as this has been shown to increase your child's well-being and academic success. Have a look at the 50 Recommended Reads for Year 4 if you're stuck for ideas on what to read at home. CLICK HERE for the full list of books.

Homework

Homework will comprise of Reading (as above), Spelling and TT Rockstars:

• Spellings

Children will be given spellings to learn every week. It is important that children practise them regularly so they are ready for their spelling test on a Friday. Spellings for the week are given every Friday for the following Friday.  

• Times Table Rockstars

In Year 4, all children have access to Times Table Rockstars https://play.ttrockstars.com/

Login details will be stuck on the inside of their reading records. Please log on and practise as much as you can. Quick recall of times table facts is important when working mathematically.

The expectation is children should complete 5 minutes practise on 4 out of 7 days.

PE
We have two PE lessons per week on Wednesday and Friday. Our PE kit is a white PE top, tracksuit bottoms (no leggings please), shorts, trainers, socks and a waterproof jacket/coat. PE kits can be left in school until each half-term break when they will be sent home to be washed.
