Year 4 - Autumn Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the Autumn Term, we hope you had a fabulous Summer! Hopefully, you find this letter informative; please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record)
● 15 minutes practicing spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)
If children would like to attempt an additional challenge, we have a new Learning Challenge for children to attempt this term. All of the activities are based around a significant person, poem or painting relating to our topics. Children do not have to attempt every activity but instead select the activities that they are most interested in and compile a project that reflects the extra time and effort that they have put into their challenge. We hope that children will take their time with the challenge and be proud of the work they produce. The children should hand this into their teacher at the end of the Half Term.
Mathletics:
A reminder that all children received their mathletics account details last term and are encouraged to make the most of this resource.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practice their words every evening. Spelling books must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens. This will be closely monitored.
P.E and Art Lessons
Ash and Birch will have PE and art lessons on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that your child is in possession of a full, named PE kit for their lessons.
Parental help
It is always extremely valuable to have parents who are able to volunteer time to help hear the children read, or support them with their times tables. If you think that you are able to give regular time to support the children then it would be warmly welcomed.

Curriculum Information
