Welcome to Year 4

🏁 ATTENDANCE GRAND PRIX – WEEKLY RACE REPORT! 🏁

🏁 ATTENDANCE GRAND PRIX – WEEKLY RACE REPORT!Β 25.9.26🏁
The chequered flag has fallen on another week at SAF and the attendance racers have crossed the line! πŸŽοΈπŸ’¨
πŸ“Š Whole-school attendance this week: 96.9%
⚠️ Persistent Absence: 8.6%
And now to the podium…
πŸ₯‡ JOINT 1ST – Mrs Yates Y3/4 & Nursery PM – 100%
A PERFECT LAP! Not a single missed turn all week. ⭐
πŸ₯ˆ Mr Broderick Y3 – 99%
So close to perfection! Flying around the final corner and only narrowly missing the top spot.
πŸ₯‰ Mr Andrew Y4 – 98.9%
Just 0.1 behind! That really was a photo finish.
πŸ”₯ Miss R Jones Y2 – 98.8%
Right on the podium’s bumper and keeping the leaders firmly in sight!
Also putting in some serious pace this week:
🏎️ Miss Capps YR – 98.1%
🏎️ Mrs Robson Y5 – 97.9%
🏎️ Nursery Flexi – 97.7%
🏎️ Miss Thomas Y1 – 96.9% – bang on our whole-school figure!
Elsewhere on the circuit…
🍌 Miss Brown Y6 and Mrs Vickers YR – 96.3%
A small banana skin on the track, but still very much in the race.
πŸ¦‘ Miss Jones Y5 – 95.8%
Hit by the ink just as the finish line came into view!
🍌 Miss Adams Y6 – 94.6% and Mrs Dornan-Steer Y2 – 94.4%
A couple of tricky corners this week, but plenty of opportunity to make up places next time.
πŸ¦‘ Mrs Casswell YR – 91.8%
The ink cloud caused some visibility problems this week. Time for a clean windscreen and another charge next week!
And Nursery AM – 80% had what can only be described as a race full of bananas, ink, red shells and probably a rogue Blue Shell too! πŸ˜¬πŸŒπŸ¦‘
πŸ† Race result: 96.9% overall
A strong whole-school result, but Persistent Absence at 8.6% remains the figure we need to keep working on.
Congratulations to Mrs Yates Y3/4 and Nursery PM on this week’s flawless 100% performance! πŸ‘
Next week: new race, clean track, everything to play for… 🏁

What We Are Learning This Year

Year 4 Curriculum Overview 2026-2027

Key Information

PE Days

PE for Mr Andrew’s Class is on a Monday and Tuesday.

PE for Mrs Yates’s Class is on a Monday and a Tuesday.

Your child will need to come into school in uniform, and they will change in school.

Children will need to tie their hair up and remove any stud earrings or provide plasters. Hoop earrings are prohibited. It is important that you send your child with the appropriate PE kit, each session. PE is a National Curriculum subject, and your child needs to be given the opportunity to work with the PE coaches.

 

Outdoor Learning

Year 4 will take part in Outdoor Learning throughout the year. You will be told in advance when this is and your child will need to come into school in uniform and they will change in school. Children will need to bring their wellies, waterproof coats, waterproof trousers/suit and as the weather gets colder to bring hats and gloves.

 

Home Time

Your child will be released from their classroom fire door at 3:10pm promptly. Children will need to be collected by an adult who is registered on your key contacts list.

 

How Parents Can Help At Home

Children must be reading at home either with their library book, own book or on Reading Plus, along with practising their times tables. Children should read 5 times a week, with this shown in their Reading Records.

Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

All children in Year 4 take part in the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). This is a short online check that helps us see how confidently children can remember their times tables up to 12 Γ— 12.

The check includes 25 quick questions and gives children the chance to show how well they know their multiplication facts. Knowing times tables well is an important skill that helps children become more confident and successful in maths.

We will undertake the test in a two-week window from Monday 7 June 2027.

Throughout the year, we will practise our times tables regularly in fun and engaging ways to help everyone feel prepared and confident. You can help by encouraging your child to practise at home on Times Table Rockstars.Β  πŸŒŸβž—βœ–οΈπŸ“Š
