Mr Whittaker
WELCOME TO
YEAR 4!
Welcome to Year 4! Get ready for a fun year of learning! Throughout the year we will be covering a number of interesting areas:
READING
Reading books are to be taken home every night and brought back into school every day. Children should be reading daily as it has a significant impact on their attainment across the entire curriculum. Please complete your Accelerated Reader quizzes online at home, if you can, by following this link:
Your username and password are found in your reading records. If you can't access this at home, please let me know. You can complete your quiz in class during our DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time.
English
In English, we now follow the Pathways to Write scheme. We will be covering a number of different texts such as: Counting on Katherine, Blue John, Our Tower, Wisp, Greek myths and jungle/rainforest information texts.
Maths
We love solving problems!
In Year 4, we follow the Maths No Problem scheme of work which encourages the children to problem solve using a variety of different methods.
The following topics are covered throughout the year.
Addition and Subtraction Within 10 000
Further Multiplication and Division
Learning the times tables to 12 x 12 is also an important part of Year 4. We therefore use a variety of methods to learn and practise them including daily.
We also use online Times Tables Rockstars to set homework tasks and to encourage the children pratcise their arithmetic skills.
During the Summer term, we will be taking part in the government multiplication check, which is not as scary as it sounds, but it does mean that we have to work hard and find lots of ways to get our tables facts into our long term memory!
