Welcome to Year 4a

Teaching Team:

Headteacher: Mrs. Shorrock / Deputy Headteacher: Mr. Adams

Our day starts at 8.45am and ends at 3.30pm. In that time, we are learning lots of exciting new things. Feel free to take a look at our curriculum map for this half-term to find out more about what we are learning.

Key Dates / Reminders

P.E: Mondays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor)
Reading: We ask that children are heard read at home at least 3 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads three times a week and their planner has been signed they get to move up within the reading championship!  We ask that reading planners and books are brought in to be changed on Thursdays ready for checking and for books to be swapped.

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: ClassDojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of 'pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition'.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our Friday celebration assembly.
 

Children have a reading book which they should bring home each night.  When children have read at home, they should show their reading record log the next day.  If children read 3 times per week, they will move up one point on the Reading Championship each Friday.  Children can also take home a book from the library.

Children will bring their spelling lists home on a Friday and be tested on that rule the following Friday. 

If you would like to get in contact, feel free to do so through Class Dojo.

Times Tables: At the end of Year 4, children will be taking a multiplication check.  By the end of the year, they should know their multiplication tables up to 12 x 12.  By the time they enter year 4, children should know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.  If this is not the case for your child, please support them to achieve this.  Children have a Times Tables Rock Stars login so that they can access it at home.
