Early Morning Exercise and keeping fit!

Why not start your day with some exercise? Follow this link to Joe Wicks' Body Coach page where he will broadcast an exercise session live each morning from 9-9:30am. Being out of school is no excuse for being out of shape! Why not ask your parents to join in too? If you message Joe's page during the session, you might get a shout out! Not ready in time for a 9am start? Don't worry. Joe's exercise sessions are all available on his YouTube channel for you to take part later on in the day.

Many children will be feeling anxious and worried at this time. A great way of helping to improve mental health is to practice yoga and mindfulness.

Reading

Welcome to Year Four’s page! On here, you will find all the latest information in relation to the class.

The homework for Year 4 will go out on a Friday and will need to be returned on Wednesday.

In Year Four,  we have PE on all afternoon on Fridays. Please make sure that both indoor and outdoor kits are in school for this day.

Things you could do at home:

English

• Please read with your child as regularly as possible, on Bug Club please.

• When reading, check for meaning and understanding.

• Practice weekly spellings that are given out on a Friday.

Maths

• Practice times tables on a regular basis. Your child should know all their times tables up to 12.

  Miss Palmer has created a sheet, to help your child at home with areas in maths that Year 4 focus on in class. These contain videos, with guidance for parents and carers to help whilst at home as well.   Maths Help.docx
