Welcome to Year 4!

Topaz class is taught by Miss Elmi.

Year 4 is an incredibly important year, but also a year full of exciting adventure! Within our school year, we will be focussing on core and foundation subjects. English and maths are our core subjects, but the children also participate in a range of subjects including: guided reading, science, history, geography, computing, music and PE. Handwriting, times tables and SPAG are a huge focus in Year 4.

Please ensure that children are learning their weekly spellings as our test takes place on Fridays. Reading journals should be completed. Please make sure that they are signed daily. At Addison, we follow the VIPERS skills when reading, so please ask questions linked to these skills when reading at home. Reading journals will be checked daily.

Homework is set Monday to Thursday.  Monday to Wednesday will be English and Maths homework, then Thursday homework each week will be topic-related. This means it will revise and support our learning in the afternoon subjects (e.g. history, geography or science). Children are expected to complete 20 minutes of TTRS each day to help build fluency and confidence with their timetables.

Please feel free to click on the 'What We Are Learning' icon to find a 'Curriculum Overview' for this half-term, along with vocabulary mats for science and topic (history, geography and science).  Don’t forget to keep an eye out for our photos in the 'Gallery of Our Learning' area!
