Year 4
Welcome to our Year 4 class page.
Spellings will be added to the downloads section, children also have their own copy that they have been provided with to take home.
Children will now be tested on different times tables on a weekly and will need to now learn all their timestables this year. We will now be practicing the times table check weekly in school each Thursday and Friday in preparation for their tests this academic year. Practicing this will also be the children’s weekly Edshed maths homework. Children can also access this website using the following link to practise times tables;
