Daily Essentials
Times Tables - Please continue to practise your times tables focusing on improving the efficiency of your answers. The aim is for all children in Year 4 to know up to 12x 12 by the end of Year 4. Suggested websites include Hit the Button and Daily 10 (both found on Top Marks) and Monster Multiplication and Multiplication (both found on Purple Mash) . Remember to have a weekly test to check if you need to move on to learn the next times table.
Children should practise using whichever method works best for them. The suggested websites can be found on the Useful Links section of this website.
Spelling - Please continue to learn your spellings which are tested every three weeks in school. February spellings are attached below in the documents section. We will recommend a range of different activities to help learning spellings but it is important that you find an activity that works for you.
Reading - Please continue to read regularly, both aloud to an adult and to yourself. Please read a range of different styles of texts. Below is a recommeded reading list for Year 4 children.

We had a really great day exploring the 'Stone Age' and 'Iron Age'. We became hunter gatherers, archaeologists and farmers. We explored and helped build a roundhouse and explored many artefacts.

The children performed beautifully in their class scene for the Christmas play. We were very proud of them. We hope you enjoy looking through the photographs.
Victorian Day
As an introduction to our new topic 'The Victorians', Year 4 took part in a Victorian Day where the children experienced life in a Victorian school. They learnt about how different a Victorian school was to the ones they know today and learnt all about the lessons, foods, jobs and punishments a Victorian child might have experienced. The day included gruel at break time, an inspection by the headmaster, a Victorian style lunch amongt many other activities and tasks.
