Reading in Year Four
Reading is a vital part of our curriculum and a key element to all our lessons, whether it be reading comprehension sessions, geography and history, science or maths. We bring our reading books into school every week so we can change our books regularly. An adult should listen to us read home 3-4 times a week as part of our weekly homework. We also have quiet reading sessions after lunchtime and enjoy a class reader each term.
Homework in Year Four
Children have 3 main homework tasks through the week:
- Weekly spellings are sent home on a Mondayand practised during the week ahead of a weekly test on a Friday.
- Maths homework is a 10 minute maths workout book – to aid with times tables practice that is key in Year 4. This is handed out on a Friday and the children return it by Wednesday the following week with the next workout page completed. Children should also be logging on TTRockstars every week to further practise and secure their times tables knowledge – watch out for battles with each other or with other year groups!
- Reading – as mentioned above, children should read 3-4 times a week at home, with questions completed in their reading journals, then signed and returned to school to be checked and new book given out.
PE Days in Year Four
We do PE on a Tuesday, although there may be additional PE sessions on other days from time to time. Please come into school in your PE kit on that day each week. PE kit is a white t-shirt with black shorts and trainers or pumps. When it is cooler you can wear tracksuit bottoms or leggings with your red school jumper or cardigan.
