Welcome to Kingfisher year 4 class 

We firmly believe that all children should be encouraged to follow the school values in our mission statement and to become confident, curious, independent and resilient, life-long learners. 

Reading 

Every child should be reading for at least 15 minutes per day. They can read independently or to an adult but the activity of reading should be enjoyable!

Reading for pleasure is something that we highlight in year 4. Sometimes it is nice for you to read to your child - never think they are too old! Our children in year 4 really enjoy listening to the daily instalment of their class book.

Every time you use the on-line reading record your child will be awarded with one House Point - so it is possible for them to gain 7 HP just for reading in one week.

Our class book we are reading at the moment is - Demon Dentist by David Walliams

Homework 

This is given out on Friday and if you wish you can send confirmation of what they have achieved  via the class email kingfisher@htsj.school.

• maths - this is based on the topic we are teaching in class
• times tables - TTRS your child can log on to this fantastic program to practise their times tables ready for the year 4 national test later this year
• spellings - are based on the National Curriuclum and are tested the following Thursday
• reading - your child should be reading on a daily basis for at least 15 minutes. This could be to an adult or independent reading

Please remember to use the on-line reading record to note your children's reading habits and any notes about what or how they are reading - I enjoy reading your comments!
