English and Maths Sets

Maths and English sessions will start off in classes however, depending on government guidelines regarding Covid, we will eventually set 3 ways for each of these subjects.

Writing ▪ We will be exploring a range of exciting stories, picture books and

poems over the course of the year and writing a range of genres. In the Autumn term we will be looking at these fantastic picture books.

MathsWe will start by covering any gaps in your maths knowledge so do not panic.

We will continue to work on developing our mental maths skills e.g times tables and division facts, doubling and halving etc.

You can help by practising the following:

➝ Read and telling the time both 12 and 24 hour.

➝ Learn x and division facts- TTRockstars.

➝ Practice written methods for + - x and ÷

➝ In July 2021 all Year 4 children will take a statutory times tables test so it is vital that your child knows their tables.

➢ Children should come to school wearing the correct school uniform remembering a tie each day.

➢ Children should have the correct equipment for lessons including reading records and P.E kits.
