Year 4 Home learning

For those who need to access materials for home learning, we will be using a best fit curriculum to match as closely to our teaching and learning in school as possible. A new timetable will be published weekly at the side of this section for any children who are isolating or unable to attend.

On this document, you will find links for Reading, Writing, Maths and Non-Core lessons for each day. There are also spellings for our different groups as well as scheduled time for TTRockstars/Mathletics daily. If you need any help with your child's work, please get in touch. Please continue to spend time reading with your children as well.

Children who are currently on the Phonics scheme can access 'Speed Sound' Lessons by clicking here.

Our topic this Summer term is 'Rotten Romans' - Here is our knowledge organiser filled with lots of useful facts and vocabulary! A paper copy has also been sent home.

Lockdown Spring Term 2021

From January 5th, we are in a national lockdown therefore we will be providing children with a remote learning curriculum. A new timetable will be published weekly and will be accessible both on this page, the year 4 class page and the year 4 Google Classroom website. There will be daily live lessons: Maths from 9.00-9.55 and English from 10.45-11.30. Afternoon lessons will continue to be based alongside our medium term plan however this will be a best fit and will be supported by activities from Oak National Academy. These links will be provided on the weekly time table and assignments uploaded daily to Google Classroom.

Please remember, we are all here for you. If there is anything we can support you or your children with, please get in touch.

We can't wait until we are back together again properly until then, stay safe!
