Y4 Summer Term Homework Project – Own Presentations

Throughout the Summer term, each of you will have the opportunity to present a 10-minute presentation on a topic of your choice. Whether it’s a hobby, a pet, a sport, or something you find really cool, this is your chance to showcase your speaking and listening skills while sharing something you’re passionate about with the class.

You have the freedom to present in any format you feel comfortable with—whether it’s a PowerPoint, a poster, or a scripted presentation. Just ensure your presentation lasts for 10 minutes.

Presentations will be scheduled on Wednesday or Thursday afternoons:

Reading - Please read at home for at least 10 minutes every day. This can be any book from non-fiction, biographies, comics or fiction books.  Please make sure children are writing in their reading record and please sign it (even if they have read independently). Their reading record should stay in their bag so they can write in it - in and out of school. Children earn Dojos for demonstrating that they are recording their reading. 

Spelling – We are sending home a new spelling log with spellings for each week, (Set A, B or C). We will teach the words and have spelling tests each week.

Maths – Please practise Timestable Rock Stars (TTRS) every day to practise recalling timestables up to 12x. The Soundcheck on TTRS is similar to the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Check which the children will take in June. This is essential for their maths progress.

We are really looking forward to the term ahead and hope your child is too! Please feel free to come and speak to us or email the office if you have any questions.

Many thanks,  

Miss Ball and Mrs Terry-Smith 

Year 4 Teachers
