Home Learning And Reading
Homework (Maths and English/Topic) is set every Thursday and should be handed in the following Wednesday. You have a homework book to complete your homework in. We will mark your homework together in class.
We expect you to spend 20 minutes on each piece of English and Maths homework, so 40 minutes in total. It is up to you how you organise your time in the week in order to complete your homework.
One of the easiest and most important skills to practise at home is reading. We expect you to read aloud, to someone at home, at least 4 times a week. Please record this in your reading record. We have lots of lovely books you can borrow from the classroom and school library too. We will visit the school library once a week and you may borrow 2 books at at time. Below are some ideas for good books you might like to read now you are in Year 4!
- Puffin Publishers - Must Reads for 9-12 year olds.
- The School Reading List - Books for Year 4
- Guildford Library - Visit your local library

Supporting Learning at Home
We are very grateful for all that parents and carers do to support their children's learning in the classroom. Here are some ideas which you may find useful when providing this support:
- Reading aloud and talking with your child about the book they are reading.
- Spelling of high frequency words and those spellings on the statutory spelling list for Lower Key Stage 2 (See below for lists).
- Handwriting practice.
- Using capital letters and full stops correctly when writing sentences.
- Times tables recall up to 12x12.
- Telling the time on an analogue clock to within 5minutes. Converting time between an analogue and a digital clock.
- Reading scales and measuring in m and cm, g and kg, ml and l.
Google Classroom Class Codes
To access your child's Google Classroom account you might have been asked for a class code. Please find the code for each class below. If you are still experiencing difficulty accessing your account, please contact the Year 4 team.

In the event of school closure...
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to close the school. This may be due to adverse weather conditions or perhaps when essential school services cannot be provided –e.g. heating, plumbing or water.
Please refer to the School’s Bad Weather Policy on our website for information regarding how we communicate a school closure.
Class teachers will then initiate home school learning activities, and these will be available to children by 10am of the same morning.
