Important Information

Welcome to Year 4!

This is an exciting and important year as we build on previous learning and take on new challenges. Our focus will be on developing confidence, fostering independence, and deepening understanding across all subjects. Year 4 is a key time to strengthen essential skills and prepare for the increased expectations of upper Key Stage 2.

Throughout the week, we will use Times Tables Rock Stars to practise and track our fluency with times tables. By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all their times tables and related facts fluently, as this is a vital part of the maths curriculum and supports future learning.

This year, children will also take part in the Multiplication Tables Check to assess their knowledge and fluency of times tables up to 12 × 12. Regular practice both in school and at home will help them feel confident and ready for this assessment.

Each week, children will be given a spelling task and are expected to complete 30 minutes of practice on Times Tables Rock Stars. The Year 3/4 Statutory Word List can be found in the documents on this page. These are the spellings we aim for children to know by the end of Year 4.

Reading at home daily will help develop and improve pace, fluency and understanding. Please listen to your child read at least 3 times a week and then record in their reading record. 

Suitable PE kit must be worn: a black or white t-shirt with the Stanground St John's Logo or a plain black t-shirt, and black shorts/ sports trousers. 



Tapestry: This will continue to be used as a primary means of communication. This needs to be checked on a daily basis to ensure you are up-to-date with key information. This is also your route for sending any messages directly to the class teacher. Evidence of learning will continue to be posted, along with suggestions of ways you could continue to support your child at home.
