Y4 Home Learning 

Maths home learning throughout the year will be to play Times Tables Rock Stars. This is essential for success in the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check. Teachers will monitor each child's TTRS time and full details will be given on how often the children need to play for. To begin with, children need to play for at least 21 minutes a week (3 minutes per day) in the garage section of the program. 

Children are expected to read at least 5 times a week for 15 minutes. The children will need to record their reading in their reading diary which will be checked regularly by school staff. Some suggested reading books for Year 4 can be found on the Y4 page.

Spellings will be set through the children’s Spelling Frame account. We will start to set these spellings in the coming weeks and inform you again once they have begun. If you are looking for spellings to practice in the meantime, then please refer to the Y1/Y2 and the Y3/Y4 common exception spelling lists which are also on the Year 4 page.

Year 4 Saxon Camp -  January 2026

In Year 4, the children are offered the fantastic opportunity of attending a one night residential camp. This takes place at school with children sleeping over inside the school halls. This was huge success last year and we will once again be offering this opportunity as part of supporting our children's personal development. 

More information will follow after October Half Term.
