Class 4 2024 - 2025

Mrs Richards

Hello Everyone,

I cannot believe that we are now into our final half term of the year!

As always, it is a busy one with lots of sport and lovely days planned including our Viking Workshop Day (11th June - make sure that you have your costume ready). I have uploaded the letter sent our via School Spider - this has ideas for your Viking costume.

PE will still be on Monday and Friday, and the Magic Maths club will continue to run on a Wednesday.

As usual, the following will apply:

Times tables: the children are progressing well learning their times table up to 12 x 12. However, practise at school alone is not enough so please can you encourage your child to spend 5 – 10 minutes (a day if possible) on TTRockstars or other tables websites. If you do not have internet access, then practising together or making matching games with facts and answers is a great way to support their learning. They will have the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check in early June 2025 and although this seems along time in the future, we know it comes around very quickly.

Homework: We are continuing to use Atom Prime for homework. If you have forgotten your login details then you will need to reset your password using your personal email. We are unable to do that for you. Each week, your child will get a maths, reading and grammar piece of homework. The questions are adapted to your child's responses and there are videos and help-buttons to assist if your child is struggling. All work set is designed to support the work that we are doing in class.

Children are also expected to read at home most days for between 10 - 20 minutes. This will build their 'reading miles' which has multiple benefits for their Literacy, plus have a positive effect on other subjects. Please could you encourage your child to do this or, even better, read with them. They are definitely not too old for this, and it is a great way to discuss the books that they are reading which, in turn, will help with their comprehension skills.

In the meantime, if you have any queries then please contact me via email or, if possible, speak with me at the end of the day as morning are a bit busy.

Thank you in advance for all your support and here’s to another great term.

Mrs Richards 😊
