Year 4 – Useful Information for Parents and Carers

PE Lessons
PE lessons for Year 4 take place every Thursday and Friday.
Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their full PE kit on these days. If your child wears earrings, they must be able to remove them independently, or please ensure they are taken out before school.

Reading
Reading records will be checked every Monday and Wednesday.
Children in Year 4 are expected to read at least five times per week. Books will be changed on the same days.
If your child finishes their school reading book, they are encouraged to read books from home. These can also be recorded in their reading record with a short comment.

Homework
Homework is set every Friday via Mathletics and Spelling Shed.
Children will be assigned a short maths task and a spelling task, linked to current learning or to reinforce previously taught concepts.
In addition, children are expected to log in to Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) at least three times per week, aiming for a total of 30 minutes per week.

Times Tables Test
By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12 × 12 fluently.
To support this at home, the following websites are highly recommended:

• Times Tables Rock Stars

• Hit the Button

These tools provide engaging and effective practice to help children improve their speed and accuracy with times tables.
