Year 4
Happy New Year everyone.
Welcome back Year 4 . There is much to look forward to this term and we aim to keep you updated throughout the year. Please check back regularly for updates and photos.
P.E.
Our PE days for Spring 1 in both classes are Tuesday and Friday. Please could you ensure that children come to school wearing their correct Cranmere PE kit on these days. When the weather is cold, the children should come in tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirts. In Spring 2, the PE days will change as we will have swimming on a Monday and PE on a Tuesday.
Homework
Homework is an important part of the learning process, and we appreciate the time that you spend helping your child with their homework. As you are aware, our homework policy has been updated.
In year 4, children should read for 20 minutes every day and record this in their home school diaries. Their reading diaries will be checked every week by an adult. They are also expected to practice their weekly spellings (recorded in spelling homework books due in on Thursday for Bluebirds and Fridays for Kingfishers). The children can also revise their spellings on spelling shed.
Also, year 4 pupils need to practice their times tables every evening for 10 minutes (Times Tables Rockstars). In addition to this, the children will bring home a 'My times tables booklet' based on the times tables they will be studying in class.
Each half term, we will set a creative homework. Please see our termly newsletters for details of this.
End of the day
- Parents wait and collect their children outside the classrooms.
- All children need to be collected by an adult unless we have written permission that your child can walk home.
- Please let the office know if collection arrangements change or if you are running late.
