Red Hill Primary School

Please click below to see the curriculum map for Year 4 as well as the topic web for this half term. These are working documents however, so they may change as we progress into the term. The Year 4 Curriculum Meeting slides are also below.

Please see below for weekly homework sheets. Children should have brought these home every Friday in their homework books.

Attached is also a recommended reading list.

Our topic for this half term is ‘Feel the Force’ and 'Let's Plant It'.

As part of our‘Feel the Force’ and 'Let's Plant It' topics, we will be learning about what the world would be like without friction and how to grow healthy plants.  

Reading

Reading should be completed a minimum of 3x a week, but ideally for 10 minutes each evening. This should be completed with an adult, and children can choose to read their own book, a book from school or on bug club. Adults need to record the reading session in the reading record, alongside a sentence or two about how the read and anything they found tricky. Reading records must be in school every day.

Homework books

Homework books are sent home on a Friday and must be returned to school on a Wednesday. Weekly homework includes:

Maths

A short maths challenge linking to the week’s learning. There will be 3 different challenges that your child can choose to complete depending on how confident they felt with that concept in class. Children should also log into TTRS (https://ttrockstars.com) and practise their multiplication recall.

Spellings

Children will have up to 10 spellings sent home linking to a spelling pattern being taught in class. These will be tested in the spelling session on a Wednesday morning.

IPC

At the bottom of the homework will be some questions linking to the topics being taught in class. Please ask your children these questions and get them talking about all the incredible learning that is taking place in classrooms! This is a great chance for children to share all of their amazing knowledge.
