Welcome to Year 4b



Welcome to 4b!
Teaching Team: Miss L Evans, Mrs S Smith (PPA), Mrs D Fletcher (PPA)
Phase Leader: Mrs J Buck
SENDCO: Mr R Adams and Mrs C Gaskell
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 Tuesdays (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! When your child has read their book, they can swap it for a new one.
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 home their spelling list each Monday. They will practise spellings which follow the same rule throughout the week and be tested on a Friday. The aim is for the children to learn the rule so they will be tested on the words sent home plus two more words following the same rule.
Children should also practise their times tables on Times Tables Rock Star. Children should already know their 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s and 10 times tables from year 3 and by the end of year 4 should have learnt all their times tables ready for the end of year times tables check.
If you would like to contact me, 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.
