Year 4 is an important year in terms of being the last year within Lower Key Stage 2. This year your child will mature and blossom in readiness for their last couple of years in primary school before branching off to secondary school. Children in Year 4 will spend time preparing for their Multiplication, Times Table Check which in turn, will prepare them for working towards their SATs at the end of the Key Stage.

Home Learning

In Year 5, we encourage an increased degree of independence. Pupils are expected to bring their diaries as they are checked each day. Homework is to be completed by deadlines and there is an expectation that pupils begin to take responsibility for bringing their P.E kits, swimming kits, packed lunches etc.

Spellings are given out weekly each Monday, then tested the following Monday. These also link in with our novel study.

Pupils are expected to read 5 times a week at home. Diaries are checked each Friday for ‘Reader Leader.’ Those pupils achieving this receive tokens and treats!
