In Year 4, we have high expectations for both effort and attitude, and we know that together we can help the children achieve their very best. To support their learning at home, we ask that:
-
Children practise Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) at least four times a week, to build fluency and confidence with multiplication facts.
-
Children read at home at least four times a week, ideally aloud to an adult, to develop their understanding, vocabulary, and love of reading.
Thank you for your continued support with these routines – they make a huge difference. We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and discovery in Year 4!

Autumn 1
This term the children have already enjoyed reading The Dark and creating their own stories about overcoming fears. In maths, we are focusing on place value in numbers up to 10,000, and in science we are exploring the fascinating topic of electricity. In RE, we are discussing ancient stories and their impact on modern celebrations, helping the children to make meaningful links between past and present.

During Year 4, children will take part in the multiplication timetable checker (MTC). This is assessment is 25 multiplication questions that children have six seconds to answer each question. The aim of the assessment is to see if children can recall their timetables fluently.
In school we use two websites to help us with our timetables. TTRSand Mathshed. Both have features that allow children practice speed and fluency.
