Mathletics: Coming soon!!

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

We have used Mathletics for a number of years and it is a great resource for children to consolidate the learning they are doing at school and to build confidence and fluency. Each child can work at their own level and we celebrate the achievements of the children in our merit assemblies.

Communication

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is something that you wish to ask or discuss. We really value the partnership between home and school and understand how vital this relationship is.

The email addresses for the Year 4 teachers are listed below.

We check our emails every week day, so this is probably the most straight forward way of connecting with us. If you wish to speak to us in person, please email us or telephone the school office to arrange a time for a phone call. In circumstances where a face to face meeting is required, we will then arrange an after-school appointment with you.

We are pleased to welcome you and your child to Year 4. The children have made a fantastic start to the new school year: showing us that they are keen and ready to learn and demonstrating respectful and responsible behaviour.

Year 3 & 4 recommended book list

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Reading advice from Mrs Shiell our English Subject Leader.

Reading

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Reading is a vital life skill and one which they will continue to develop and improve. We teach and practise strategies at school but it is really important that children regularly read and discuss their reading with an adult at home. Children will bring a book home from the BIG CAT Collins scheme which they can change as often as they need to. We encourage children to read a wide range of books including fiction and non-fiction.

Protective Behaviours

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Protective Behaviours at Telford is our framework for personal safety. We teach the Taking Care Project in our PSHE lessons and embed Protective Behaviours into our daily practice. We talk to children about having a safe network of trusted adults and friends, recognising their Early Warning Signs and encouraging them to think about their safe space and what helps them to feel calm, safe and happy.

Our School Aims

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

We aim to encourage all children to follow our 3 R's: Being Respectful, Being Responsible and Being Ready to learn. In Year 4, we continue to explore and develop these values in order to help the children achieve their potential and be safe and happy in their learning.
We recognise when children follow these values and praise and celebrate their successes.

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Reading: Our expectation is that children should read a book from the reading scheme each week.

Spelling: Children will be assigned spellings to learn each week.

English Homework: On alternate weeks, children will be given a paper activity to support their reading/grammar work.

Maths Homework: Children will be assigned multiplication facts to learn. They will be tested in class and be awarded badges if they complete the questions correctly.

On alternate weeks, children will be given a paper Maths activity to support their learning in school.

Mathletics: Children should aim to achieve 1000 points each week. Sometimes they will be assigned tasks based on the work we are doing in class.

Please can you help your child to remember to bring their reading book into school every day and change it when they have finished.😊

Working Together

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

We really value the partnership between school and home. The importance of our positive partnership allows our pupils to have the confidence and support that they need to succeed. One way we can do this is having clear expectations of our home work. Here we will lay out our Home Learning work so you are aware of what the children can do at home to further extend their learning.

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Learning number facts

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

Fluency in multiplication and division facts is really important as children continue to develop their Maths knowledge. We spend lots of time learning these concepts in school in different ways and test the children regularly. Badges, stickers and certificates are awarded as the children become confident with them. We really appreciate your help with children learning these.

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC

You will find a list of weekly spellings here. The children will be tested on these every Friday.

herbertl4 — 2026-09-01 19:02:26 UTC
