Welcome to Year 4
Year 4 is an interesting and exciting year for your children. We have so many brilliant things to learn this year! This area of the website provides you with important information that you might need.
We regularly post photographs and examples of work on our school Twitter and Facebook pages, so have a look there to see our latest activities. Click the links below to go to the pages.

Other important information:
PE will take place every Wednesday this half term.
We are keeping our PE kits in school until the half-term holidays. If you take part in after-school sports clubs, make sure you bring your PE kit back into school the next day.
We are very lucky to have Mr Conway visit us to teach brass on Mondays. You need to bring your instruments into school with you every Monday and then take it home again to practise.
Clubs:
Wednesday - Football
Thursday - Athletics
Reading at Home and Homework
You need to bring your book bag to school every day. You are expected to read for 20 minutes every day and record this in your reading record. Books will be changed regularly, each time you read at home, your reading record will be stamped at school and you will get closer to your next reading certificate.
SCODE (Spellings)
SCODE is our new spelling scheme. We are using this regularly in class and will be focusing on using codes to help us to improve our spelling. You will be happy to know that this replaces our old weekly spelling tests! Instead, we are practising our spellings as we learn, so that we can apply them in our own work.
Century Learning
Century learning is our new, individualised homework resource. Sometimes, we will set tasks for children to complete, otherwise, please spend time on your "personal pathway". It is expected that children spend at least 20 minutes a week on Century.
Times Tables Rockstars
Learning our times tables is a really important part of Year 4. You are expected to know all your times tables by the end of the year. Times Tables Rockstars is a brilliant way to practise – you can access the website whenever you like at home, even if we are not currently taking part in a battle. We will be having regular battles between the two Year 4 classes – Tudors vs Romans!
Your log in details for Century and Times Tables Rockstars are in your homework book.
