In Year 4, children are encouraged to further develop their independence and creativity.  Our focus this year is on our attitude both towards learning and others.  We will be developing our manners and thinking about the way we conduct ourselves around school.

We will provide a safe and healthy learning environment in which children can express themselves freely, develop their reasoning and thinking skills, and continue their educational journey in the most positive way possible.

Year 4 Homework

• Do you know what these words mean?
• Can you use them in a sentence?

What are the word’s synonyms and antonyms?

Reading

What can I do to support my learning at home?

1. Read as often as you can. Try to read a variety of texts and, if possible, read out loud to an adult. Have you completed any Book Bingo squares recently?
2. Complete your homework tasks. These should help you to deepen your understanding of topics covered in school. 
3. Take a look at the Learning Links page on our school website. Here you can find some useful websites and resources which may help you when learning at home. 
4. Try to get your 144 club badge! Have a look at our times tables website page where you can find different activities to have a go at if you're trying to speed up. 
5. Check out our 'Things to Try Before you Leave Burlington' website page. You can also find this information in your school diary. Have you completed all of the tasks?
