What You Will Need in Year 4
Reading Books: Your child will need to bring their reading book and reading record to school every day. You are encouraged to read with your child every day and to sign their reading record.
Homework: Children are set weekly online maths and English homework. They are also expected to visit the Times Tables Rock Stars website three times a week in order to practise their times tables. Children are expected to arrive in Year 4 knowing the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 times tables. By the end of Year 4, children are expected to be secure with all the times tables from 2 - 12. In the summer term, Year 4 children across the country must complete the multiplication tables check. It is very important that children continue to practise their times tables on a daily basis in order to meet and maintain these expectations.

Year 4 Yearly Overview
A Day in Court!
Year 4 took a trip to the Employment Tribunal in Manchester to spend the day in court! They had the opportunity to meet a real judge and barrister to find out what their jobs are like. They also looked at a real Victorian court case and acted out the trial. The children took on the roles of judge, clerks, prosecution team, defence team, witnesses and a jury. It was a fascinating trip and the children loved playing their part in the court room.
