 Year 4 Residential 

 It is customary for the children in Year 4 to experience their first school one-night residential. 

Homework and Reading

There is an expectation that your child completes at least three twenty minute reading sessions a week at home. This can be independent, reading to an adult or a mixture of reading and book discussion with an adult.

In addition to this, the children will know from their maths lessons which times tables they need to practise and they need to do this at home twice a week. For the completion of the above tasks, children will be awarded three stars.

The homework diary can also be used as a means of communication between yourself and your child's teachers. Teachers will sign diaries every week and we ask that you also sign the diary weekly. 

Year 4 Multiplication Check

 Your child in Year 4 will be taking the statutory multiplication tables check (MTC) for the first time, in June this year. The purpose of the check is to determine whether pupils can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help your child’s school to identify pupils who may need additional support.

An information leaflet can be found here, providing an update for parents including:

  • what happens during the check 
  • access arrangements 
  • how the results data is used
