Daily Essentials
Times Tables - Please 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) . We also recommend the apps 1 Minute Maths White Rose and DK Times Tables. We have weekly tests 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 learn your spellings which are tested every three weeks in school. We will recommend a range of different activities to help with learning spellings but it is important that you find an activity that works for you.
Reading - Please 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. If you finish your school reading book read a book from home, or you could even listen to some extracts from recommended stories from the list above.

Residential to Tattenhall -January 2023
We had such a wonderful time together on our first class residential. We made Victorian box cameras, dressed up in Victorian clothes and had our photographs taken in a Victorian studio. We then made Victorian inspired photo frames, with the resident artists. We played games in the dance studio and made up a dance for our class assembly. On the second day, we went on a lovely walk around Tattenhall village following a route we had plotted on a map. We saw many similarities to our own village, which we will explore further at school. We had lots of delicious meals together in the dining room and lots of fun having a huge sleepover.
SNOW!!!!
We were very excited when it snowed whilst we were in school.
