PE Days:
Autumn 1
4OH - Wednesday
4H - Wednesday swimming lessons.
 

We ask that your child has a plain white t-shirt, black shorts (jogging bottoms in the colder weather) and suitable footwear. Children are to come to school wearing their PE kits on their PE day. On swimming days children can come into school in their uniform and bring their swimming costume, a towel and a swimming cap in their bags.
 

Reading Books:

Reading is vital for your child’s development, so we naturally want to promote a love of reading here at St Clare’s. Your child will have opportunities to read in school, but we need your support too and we ask that your child reads daily at home for at least 20 minutes. Your child will be able to change their shared reading books daily, providing their reading record is signed. 

Homework
4OH: Homework will be given out on a Friday and due to return on Wednesday.
4H: Homework will be given out on a Friday and due to return on Wednesday.

Spellings:
4OH: Spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Friday.
4H: Spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Thursday.

Spellings are based on the National Curriculum, and are given to pupils weekly. We spend time in class learning the meaning of words, and strategies to help learn how to spell them correctly. Through the year, we revisit previous spellings taught, to give pupils opportunities to remember them. We always look for opportunities for spellings to be applied into written work. Alongside weekly spellings, new vocabulary is consistently taught through our topics.

Here is an overview of the spellings they will learn this year (scroll to find their current half term)

Times Tables:
During the Summer Term, Year 4 will sit a Times Table assessment, this will test their knowledge of the 1- 12 times tables. We practice times tables in class daily, but we do ask that children also practice at home. To help prepare for the test children have a TTRockstar login, which is a great tool to help them practice. Below is a PowerPoint with more information about the assessment:
