Welcome to Year 4

Typical Year 4 Timetable

Key Information

• Full PE kit to be worn on Wednesday. 
• Please read at least three times a week with your child. This will be recorded at school throughout the week.
• Books can be changed every day, as often as your child wants to.

Communicating with your child's class teacher: 

Our direct year group email is year4@st-matthews.leeds.sch.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mr Morton or Miss Li). 

Names in clothing:

Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off).

Homework

• MyMaths online homework will be set every Monday.
• New spellings will be given every Friday to learn by the following Friday.  These can be found in Google Classroom and are also available up in the classroom for the children.  Some suggested strategies for practising spellings can be found below.  In addition to the weekly words, we encourage the children to learn the spellings on the Year 3/4 spelling list, see below.  Can you learn them all by the end of Year 4?
• Practise Times Table Rockstars.  We set regular 'battles' between classes to encourage the children to do this.
