Year 4 Autumn Overview
IMPORTANT YEAR 4 DATES
Multiplication check- This will begin on the 8th June.
Reminders
PE is on Wednesday and Thursday - please send your child into school wearing full PE kit but consider the weather and ensure they have extra layers for playtimes, and during the day.
Water bottles
Please clean the bottle each evening and send in with fresh water daily - not juice.
This helps to adhere to current safety regulations.
Supporting your child’s learning
Our Year 4 webpage contains links and guidance to involve you in your child's school learning journey. We very much view you as our team. Without your support our aims are harder to achieve. This can be done through practising times tables, spellings and reading together.
Reading
We ask that children read for at least ten minutes each day. Books sent home do not have to be completed all at once and we strongly encourage an equal amount of questioning, to ensure the text and vocabulary has been understood. If you are not sure how you can do this, please ask and look at this link
https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-comprehension/ .
Rememeber that when your child has read a book that they can complete a reading comprehension quiz on Accelerated Reader.
If you feel your child needs more books than given, please use Myon and access the online reading books available.

Mathletics and Online Platforms
Each week we ask that your child uses Mathletics and earns a Bronze (or beyond) certificate. Some tasks may have been seen before, however repetition is vital for learning. Times Table Rockstars is also a great learning platform for practising times tables in time for the Multiplication Check.
Spellings
As well as looking out for spellings in our weekly email. By the end of Year 4 pupils are expected to read and spell the words listed below. Please give your child the best chance at learning these by choosing a few each week and practicing how to read and spell these.
