Year 4 - Mr Lewis 2025 - 2026
Mr Lewis
Welcome to Year 4!
My name is Mr Lewis and I am delighted to be your child’s class teacher this year. We have an exciting journey ahead, full of opportunities to learn, grow and achieve together. In Year 4 the children will continue to build on their skills in English and mathematics, while also enjoying a broad and engaging curriculum that includes science, history, geography, art, and much more. My aim is to create a supportive and positive classroom environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to do their best.
I would also like to share some important information regarding our weekly routine. Our PE days will be Thursday and Friday and children should come to school in their PE kits on these days with long hair tied back and ear rings removed. Reading diaries will be checked on monday and the childrens weekly spell check will be on a wednesday. Homework is given out on a Thursday and needs to be returned to school be Tuesday at the latest.The children will have one piece of homework, which will be equipped with answers so they can complete their homework independantly.
In Year 4, there is a big focus on spelling. If you would like to practise them at home this website is very useful: https://www.spellzone.com/curriculum/national-curriculum/years-3-4.cfm
All children have a reading target sticker in their reading diaries, this will show their personal points target and the date it must be reached by. All children who reach thier personal target will take part in a reading treat at the end of every half term. There will be no aditional time allowed for pupils who have not reached thier personal target by the specified date. if you have difficulty accessing Accelerated reader at home, please let me know ASAP as additional time to complete a quiz can be given in school.
Going on Times Table Rockstars regularly will really benefit children in YR4 as at the end of this academic year all children in YR4 will have to complete the statutory times table check. Another good website to support timestables is 'Hit the button' - https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button.
Here are some useful times table links to different games and resources.
