Holmgate Primary School and Nursery

Welcome to Year 4

 

The adults working in Year 4 are:

 

Mrs Allen and Mrs Atkinson 

 

Mrs Guy will be covering Mrs Allen’s management time on a Thursday afternoon. She will also cover on every alternate Tuesday.

 

Ash will be in EVERY Tuesday teaching PE.

Spelling Shed

This year we will continue to use a scheme called Spelling Shed. Every Friday, children will continue to be tested on their spellings and be given new spellings for the following week. These spellings can then be practised by playing games online and earning points.

 

 Your child’s Spelling Shed login can be found in the first page of their reading record.

Reading

Reading is a key part of our curriculum and children will be taking a colour-banded school reading book home with them.

Even though your child is now in Year 4, listening to them read, is still as important as ever as it helps them to improve their fluency and intonation when reading.

 

Please listen to your child read at least three times a week. You may fill in an entry in your child’s reading record if you wish.

Times Tables

All children are expected to know all of their multiplication tables up to 12x12 by the end of Year 4 and will be completing a multiplication tables check in June 2025. TT Rockstars is great for practicing times tables and login details can be found in the

        front of your child’s reading diary.

       

  PE

Children should bring their PE kit into school to keep on their pegs. Our PE kit consists of a white T shirt and black shorts, joggers or leggings. Your child must be able to remove their earrings themselves for PE lessons.

 

Year 4 have PE every TUESDAY with Ash.

They will also have PE every other MONDAY. 

Seesaw

We will be using Seesaw again this year to set work for children and as a link between school and home so teachers and parents can communicate easily with one another. Parents can also access Seesaw to see some of the work that the children have been completing during lesson time.

 

Please let school know if you are struggling to connect to Seesaw so we can help you with this.
