We’re thrilled to welcome you to Year 4 - a year of exciting learning, growing independence, and unforgettable experiences. Your child’s class teacher is **Miss Routh**, supported by our dedicated teaching assistant **Mrs Saddique**. Together, we’re here to make this year engaging, supportive, and full of discovery. ### Our Learning Journey Year 4 is packed with rich topics that inspire curiosity and creativity: We dive into the world of rivers, culminating in an exciting **river study fieldwork project** where children explore real-life river features and processes. We travel back in time to explore the **Ancient Egyptian civilization**, focusing on the concept of **beliefs** and the legacy of the pharaohs. These units are brought to life through hands-on activities, storytelling, and cross-curricular links. ### PE & Swimming **PE is every Monday and Tuesday** - please ensure your child has their kit in school: - White t-shirt - Plain black shorts or leggings - Black trainers - No jewellery ### Reading Every Day Reading is at the heart of learning in Year 4. We ask that children: - Read their **home reader every evening** - **Bring their book to school daily** - Explore a wide range of texts from our **school library** Daily reading helps build vocabulary, comprehension, and a lifelong love of books. ### Times Tables Check - June 2026 All Year 4 children will take part in the **Multiplication Tables Check** during the week beginning **1st June 2026**. To prepare, it’s essential that children can **recall multiplication facts quickly and confidently**. To support this, children have access to: - **Times Tables Rockstars** - a fun and competitive way to practise - **TopMarks.co.uk** and **timestables.co.uk** - interactive games and quizzes - **BBC Bitesize** and **YouTube** - catchy songs and videos to help memorise facts Please encourage regular practice at home - just a few minutes a day makes a big difference! ### Stay Connected We’re here to support your child every step of the way.
