Class 4 is taught by Mrs Weston and Mrs Watkins and our teaching assistants are Mrs Hammond and Mrs Cmiljic. 

In Class 4, we are studying the topics: Fantastic Beasts, Splash and Staying Alive. In English we follow the Talk for Writing approach. Our maths work follows a mastery approach with an emphasis on securing key mathematical number facts including those for the multiplication tables.

We continue to encourage independence. Children are expected to come to school every day with their reading book and reading record, a water bottle and raincoat. Please support us by reading with your child regularly and complete the record on Boom Reader. If you have any

issues accessing this, please let Mrs Weston know. 

Spelling lists will be handed out each Monday in addition to being listed on Seesaw. Spelling tests will take place each Friday.

PE is taught on Mondays and Tuesdays. Children should come to school in their PE kit on those days. 

This year, children will have one statutory test. This is the ‘Multiplication Tables Check’ (MTC). In June, pupils in Year 4 will sit the online test. They will be given 25 times table questions (multiplication only) with 6 seconds to answer each one. The tables are a random assortment of questions from all times tables up to 12x12.

More information will be provided throughout the year but some useful websites for practice are listed here:

This is a fun way to practise the games we use in class. If you would like to see what the real test is like, select the 'Soundcheck' option. This uses the same structure as the official government check.

There are lots of different games and activities here.

We love being able to share your child's learning with you and the best ways to do this are by using your parent login to view Seesaw (we use Seesaw most days!) and by following us on X (Twitter) @thomascantilupe 

In the event of being required to complete remote learning, Class 4 pupils should follow the remote learning timetable for the relevant week. Teachers will use Seesaw to communicate with your child about their learning and suggest suitable tasks, activities and links to supplement those outlined in the remote learning plan.  Most tasks can be completed online or through the use of pencil and paper. For tasks where you may require a printer, but are unable to access one or you have problems getting online,   feel free to ask us for further support by contacting the office. Remember to make sure you include time for looking after your health and wellbeing. Stay safe.  

Please login on to your Seesaw account to view, download and complete the activities for the week.
