Welcome to Year 4
Miss Pursglove is our teacher, whilst Miss O'Neill, Mr. Neilsen and Mrs. Holmes support us with our learning. We strive to keep to our school motto, “Happiness and High Standards”. In our classwork, we do this by always trying our hardest and presenting our work with care and pride. We also make sure to treat others as we would like to be treated – with kindness and respect.
As a class, we work hard to live out our school values of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility: showing respect in the way we treat each other, building resilience when we face challenges, and taking responsibility for our learning and our choices.
Our Y4 Overview
English
This year, the children will be taking part in experience sessions, developing their vocabulary and practising using different stylistic devices in their writing. All of the 'sentence stacking' lessons lead to an independent piece of writing at the end of each unit.
During our writing lessons, we will cover a range of genres: narrative, non-fiction and poetry units.
Maths
In Y4, we love maths! This year is particularly important as we have a times table check at the end of the year. For more information, please check out the government website. In order for the children to develop their multiplication skills, we will be practising and consolidating all their times tables throughout the year. You can help with this at home in a variety of ways: accessing TT rockstars using your child's login, play Hit the Button on Topmarks website, quick fire questions (in and out of order) and singing songs! Here are a list of songs we will be using in class, but feel free to use your own!
2x table song 5x table song 10x table song
3x table song 4x table song 8x table song
