Curriculum Overview
Each year group in the school has a unique curriculum that builds sequentially on the previous year group’s curriculum. The full overview for each subject can be found on the curriculum pafe of the website. However, the specific knowledge and skills that this year group will be learning over the year can be found below.
Homework:
Spelling:
For spelling homework, the class will need to learn the words for the week. The document below breaks down all the spellings for each week.
In class, we will learn how to break down the words into syllables to help us spell them, and will dictate the words in sentences.
You should spend 10 minutes twice a week on spelling practise.
Reading:
Please hear your child read at least twice per week and for 10 minutes each time. When we talk about reading in Key Stage 2, we often mean ‘comprehension’ so please discuss unknown words with your child and ask them questions about the text. Please see the VIPERS example below to aid you:
Times Tables
The children should be undertaking a minimum of 2 x 10 minutes sessions per week on their times tables. We have shared the school’s position, in the local area, on T.T.R.S. We currently (18/3/25) have an average correct score and time of 4.3 seconds per question. We want to climb the leaderboard and overtake the other schools and be top of the table! Come on Year 4!!
The websites they could look at are:
- TT Rockstars
- Hit the Button
- Daily 10
Optional Homework Tasks
Term 4
History
We are learning about the Ancient Greeks. Please produce a fact file on an area of this topic that interests you. It could be, a quiz with multiple choice options, a timeline of the key events, you could write your own Greek myth using the features covered in class or a creative task of your choosing. Please see Mr Bradbeer if you are unsure as to what to do.
Please ensure that the words are your own and not just copied and pasted from the internet. We are expecting your best presentation like the example below. We want these to come in for the last week of term so that your work can be shared with your peers.
Maths
Because times tables are integral to most areas of maths and that the MTC talks place in June, we would like you to share how you practise your times tables. Could you design a game that focuses on these times tables? We could play these in class. You could produce poems, mnemonics or a parody like this: 9 Times Table Song (Shivers by Ed Sheeran)You may wish to design posters that can help children learn their tables.
You may wish to document the stages via photos. I strongly suggest planning your ideas first before you start making. Please include tables up to 12 x 12.
