This will run for 3 weeks starting the week commencing the 7th of September and ending on Friday the 25th September. This will be the only PE lessons the children will participate in for Autumn 1. **Autumn 2** **4O'H** - Monday **4H** - Thursday 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. **Homework** The children will be given a sheet which has multiples options for them to choose from. Every Friday, the children will hand in one piece of homework. Anything which is artistic (and big) can these please be brought in on the final week of each term. 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. **Autumn 1 Homework** **Homework and Y2 spellings** Autumn 1 Homework Y2 Spelling 47 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Autumn_1_Y2_spellings_homework.docx) **Homework and Y4 spellings** Autumn 1 Y4 homework 47 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Autumn_1_Y4_homework.docx) **Autumn 2 Homework** **Homework and Y2 Spellings** Autumn 2 Y2 homework 46 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Autumn_2_Y2_homework.docx) **Homework and Y4 Spellings** Autumn 2 Y4 homework 48 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Autumn_2_Y4_homework.docx) Here is an overview of the spellings they will learn this year (scroll to find their current half term) ### Y4 Spelling Overview Spelling Overview Y4 264 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Spelling_Overview_Y4.pdf) **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. **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: ### MTC Multiplication Table Check 3.58 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Year_4_Multiplication_Tables_Check__2023(2).pptx) There is more information about the multiplication tables check on:: ### Multiplication Scheck Information For Parents Multiplication Check Info For Parents 352 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Information_for_parents_multiplication_tables_check.pdf) Here are some videos on the four operations that we have made.

It has been wonderful to watch the children progress with their swimming. Some pupils who were a bit nervous to even get in the water at first can now swim full lengths!! All pupils have done amazingly and we are very proud, but we wanted to give a special mention to Nellie, who achieved all six certificates at the end of the course. ### Swimming [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/swimming/IMG_3327.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/images/gallery/swimming/IMG_3327.jpeg) Year 4 pupils have really enjoyed using their Oracy skills in maths lessons. At the end of the Place Value unit, they were given four statements (some correct, some incorrect) to discuss with their Talk Partners. They used Talk Tactics to probe each other and build on what their peers were saying. ### 4H Oracy [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/4h-oracy/IMG_3497.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/images/gallery/4h-oracy/IMG_3497.jpeg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/4h-oracy/IMG_3499.jpeg) ](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/images/gallery/4h-oracy/IMG_3499.jpeg) ### Children - [Pupil Leaders](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children) - [Class Pages](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages) - [Nursery](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/nursery) - [EYFS Home Learning](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/eyfs-home-learning) - [Reception](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/reception-class) - [Year 1](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-1) - [Year 2](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-2) - [Year 3](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-3) - [Year 4](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-4) - [Year 5](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-5) - [Year 6](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-6) - [Forest School](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/forest-school) - [Choir](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/choir) - [After School Clubs ](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/after-school-clubs-2023-24) - [Rights Respecting School](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/children/rights-respecting-school) ### Contact Us **St Clare's RC Primary School** Victoria Avenue Higher Blackley Manchester M9 0RR Tel: 0161 740 4993 Fax: 0161 795 8094 ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://www.st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/parents/holidays) [X](https://twitter.com/st_claresrcp) © Copyright 2017–2026 St Clare's RC Primary School.
