Dear Parents / Guardians,
Congratulations! Your child is in Year 4. This is a year where we nurture and encourage the feelings of independent thinking, learning and decision making. Children now already know the routines for KS2; they have already realised that they have to do homework and they already understand that they are expected to learn a lot in a year.
In English, the children are becoming more independent with their writing and are using the features they are learning in class. The children will learn to know and understand particular key skills. Apostrophes, commas, and key spellings are just some of the things children in Year 4 are expected to use accurately.
In Maths, we will be looking at place value and addition and subtraction. There is an expectation that by the end of Year 4 all times tables are known and learnt fluently. Anything you can do to help that knowledge go in and stay in is fantastic:
- Log on to TT Rockstar and practice at least 3 times a week for a minimum of 5 minutes
- Put a poster at the end of their bed or give your child recordings to listen to in the car.
- Practise through a Multiplication Tables Check

We will be starting a new scheme of learning called ‘Learning Means the World’ to deliver the Foundation subjects. Year 4 will become Adventurers as they learn about Geography, History, Science, Music and other subjects in an exciting and relatable way.
Homework will be given every week through homework books. It will be sent home on Friday's and should be returned the following Thursday.
Our PE lesson is every Friday and every other Thursday, so please make sure your child leaves their PE kit in school. This consists of black trainers or pumps, black jogging bottoms/leggings/shorts, white t-shirt and the blue school jumper.
Please remember children are able to bring a water bottle into school.
At St Paul’s we operate an open door policy, so please feel free to ask me any questions before or after school when dropping off your child, or alternatively you can ring the school office to request a call back.
Kind regards,
Mrs Hutson
