At this time of year, Year 4 children will be working on calculating the perimeter and area, as well as fractions and decimals. Alongside this there is a focus on mastering

multiplication.

We will also be extending our writing by using a variety of conjunctions, fronted adverbials and precise, interesting adjectives. Children should also have a secure knowledge of Year 3 and 4 curriculum spellings.

Year Group Routines & Timetables

• Homework is due on Wednesday
• We test our spellings and times tables on a Friday
• PE Year 4 – Friday afternoon. Please make sure your child has the correct school PE kit and is prepared each week for their lesson.

Clarinets every Monday

Here are some of the ways you can help your child at home:

• Read with your child/ hear your child read every day for 20 minutes and sign their diaries at least three times a week.
• Ensure homework is completed and handed in each week by Wednesday.
• Practise timetables from 1-12 using different websites or apps.
• Apply a variety of methods to help your child learn their weekly spellings using the list of activities, which has been stuck at the front of their homework book.
• Ensure your child has the correct school uniform and PE Kit, labelled with their name and class. Please ensure your child has appropriate school shoes and training shoes for PE.
• Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school each day.
• Please ensure your child has their clarinet in school each Monday ready for their lesson.

It is really important the children read 3 times a week at home for at least 20 minutes.  Children need to write a comment into their reading record with regards to what they have read. E.g.  In this chapter I learnt that the character was lost in the woods.
