WELCOME TO YEAR 4 2025-26
Please find below the digital copies of the Information Leaflets that were handed out on Bump Up Day last term.
Homework
In Year 4, homework will alternate each week between grammar and mathematics.
-
Grammar tasks will be set in the children’s CPG Grammar workbooks.
-
Mathematics tasks will be set in the White Rose workbooks.
These tasks are designed to help the children revisit and practise the skills they have been learning in class, giving them time to build confidence and independence.
This week, homework will be given out on Thursday 11th September. It is grammar, and the focus is on capital letters and exclamation marks. Children are asked to complete pages 36, 37 and 38 in their grammar workbook. Please return the books by Tuesday 16th September, so that we can mark the work together in class.
Times Tables Rockstars
As you know, times tables are a really important part of Year 4 learning. To support your child, we encourage regular use of TT Rockstars at home.
Children should try different game modes such as:
-
Garage – for practising their set times tables.
-
Jamming – for choosing tables to focus on themselves.
-
Soundcheck – to prepare for the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check in the summer term.
Short, regular practice (around 5–10 minutes a day) makes a big difference and will help your child feel more confident when recalling their multiplication facts quickly.
Spelling Shed
This year we will also be using Spelling Shed to support the children with their weekly spelling lists. The games on Spelling Shed are designed to make practising spellings fun and engaging.
Each child can log in using the details provided in their reading diary. The spellings set online will match those we are learning in class that week, giving the children the chance to consolidate their understanding and practise in different ways.
If you have any questions about homework, TT Rockstars or Spelling Shed, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
