Week ending: 8th September 2017
It’s great to see all of year 4 back at school and full of enthusiasm.
Our learning this year is built on the solid foundation of what has gone before. For maths, it is particularly important that children can count in multiples and recall and use multiplication and division facts.
Children at the start of year 4 should be able to count in steps of 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 50 and 100. They should also be able to recall and use multiplication and division facts for the following multiplication tables : 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10.
Please support your child to check that they have secured these.
Through year 3 and 4, children work to secure the spellings of the statutory word list. There is a copy of this list in the back of their spelling journal. I have asked the children to choose 5 or 6 spellings to learn during the week ahead. We have also revised different spelling strategies. This week we have concentrated on Trace – Copy – Write strategy.
It is important that the spelling journal comes back to school each day as this is a tool that supports all of our learning.
The final piece of homework focused on punctuating direct speech. Please complete this homework in your English homework book. Take care to get the punctuation right.
Our PE day is Monday. Please make sure that you have a labelled PE kit in school for our lesson.
Our swimming lessons start on Tuesday.
