Year 4
About Year 4......
Year 4 is such an amazing and exciting year where we learn lots of new skills. Within Music lessons, we are taught by a music specialist how to play both the ukulele and the clarinet. As part of our Cliffe House residential trip, we practise resilience and independence whilst participating in a wide range of wonderful outdoor activities. And finally, we gain a deeper understanding of History based topics such as The Romans and The Tudors.
At the end of Year 4 we also now have a new multiplications check, so we work really hard on making sure we know all of our times tables as we know this helps us with our Maths as we move up through school.
Take a look at the pictures and information on the page to find out more about Year 4.

Mystery Read
At Rowley Lane, we encourage a love of reading both at school and at home. We are asking each child to read four times a week and for parents/carers to sign when they have done so on the Mystery Read bookmark. When a row is full, hand this bookmark to the class teacher every MONDAY for a chance to be in the draw to take home the ‘Mystery Read’ that week.
When the children have completed the whole card (read four times a week, for four weeks) they will be entered into a prize draw that will be drawn at the end of each Half Term.
This will run alongside the Tudor Reading Challenge, so keep clocking up those minutes in your child’s Reading Record too.
Please support your child to complete their challenge.
Homework
Spellings:
Handed out Tuesday. Tested the following Tuesday.
Maths:
Handed out Thursday. To be returned by the following Thursday.
Reading:
Your child should read at least 4 times per week. Please sign and record the number of minutes read in your child's reading record.
This will then help them to earn rewards as part of the 'Tudor Reading Challenge'.
Running alongside this, we also have the 'Mystery Read'. Sign your child's bookmark 4 times in a week and they will be entered into a prize draw.
Happy reading!
