Year 4 - Autumn Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to school! 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 practising spellings in their spelling book
- 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)
Mathletics:
All
children have received their mathletics information. This is an online platform
that the children can use to further consolidate learning. This is monitored by
the class teacher and children will be rewarded for the use of Mathletics at
home. Please note however, this is not compulsory.
Spellings:
Spellings
will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise 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 Lessons
Larch,
Ash and Birch will have PE lessons on a Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure that
your child is in possession of a full, named PE kit for their lessons. On
Wednesdays, we will allow the children to come into school wearing their PE
kit.This will be
for the Autumn term and will be reviewed at Christmas.
Reading Books
As
an extra precaution in these challenging times, children should bring in any books that need changing on Friday and those books will be quarantined over the
weekend, before they go back into the library. They will then receive a new reading book on Monday. To help manage this, please can
reading books stay at home until they are ready to be changed on Friday; your
child will have a separate reading book in class.
We
have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this
term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would
like to learn, please inform your child’s class teacher as we welcome any
suggestions you may have.
Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to the year ahead and are sure it will be full of fabulous learning experiences!
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Claxton Miss Delahunty Miss Young Miss Islam

Please practise the times tables with your child. The school is
continuing to focus on mental arithmetic this year and it would be of great
help if your children could learn them. Useful websites: www.mymaths.co.uk www.mathszone.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk/schools/websites/4_11/site/numeracy.shtml
