Dear Parents and Carers of Year 4,
Welcome back to the Summer term! This term our topic is Modern Europe. Please see our topic web for further information on our curriculum areas. We will be holding a Youlbury residential information afternoon on Thursday 8th May at 3.30pm, ahead of our residential trip on Weds 4th June-Friday 6th June.
PE
Indoor PE will be on Mondays and outdoor PE will be on Fridays. Please ensure PE kits are in school everyday and that children have sun hats and suncream in school if the weather improves!
Homework
Homework will be set on Google Classrooms but also provided here for your reference.
Reading - Please encourage your children to 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 they 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 house points for demonstrating that they are recording their reading.
Spelling – We are sending home a spelling log with spellings for each week. We will teach the words and have spelling tests each week. The spelling log includes ideas of spelling games to play to practise spellings at home.
Maths – Over the next few weeks we will be preparing for the government’s statutory Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). This is an online test for Year 4 pupils that consists of 25 timed multiplication questions that are randomly generated. Children are given 6 seconds to answer tables facts up to 12x12. We will be conducting the MTC during the first two weeks of June so it is important that the children practise their timestables/use TTRS soundchecks everyday to ensure that they are well prepared. For more information, please check the Gov.uk website.
Project – Throughout the Summer term, each child will have the opportunity to present a 10-minute presentation on a topic of their 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.
We are really looking forward to the term ahead. Please speak to us or email the office if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Miss Ball and Mrs Terry-Smith
