Stoat
Welcome to Stoat Class!
Welcome Back!
I hope you all had a lovely half term. It was an exciting return back with the children having their much awaited viking day, the children absolutely loved day and learnt so much about the Vikings.
We have another busy half term, which will see the children learning about Madagascar, animals including humans and finally looking at the christian Easter story in more detail.
Please can I remind you to ensure your child is:
- Reading at least three times a week
- Completing their Mymaths homework
- Visiting Rockstars at least twice a week
- Practising Year 3/4 spelling words
- Learning and practising the Spring 2 KIRFs
I look forward to sharing our learning with you all throughout the term.
If you have any questions, please do come and speak to me before or after school.
Many Thanks
Mrs A Farrant
Spring 2 - Homework
Please find below some links which will support your child when completing their homework for this term.
World Book Day 2024
Guided Reading
This week in guided reading we started our new text, 'The boy who biked the world' by Alastair Humphreys. As a class we came up with some questions we would like to ask the author. We sent the questions to him and very quickly we got a response. Please watch the video below to see the answers to Stoat's class questions.
I hope you all had a lovely summer break and got the opportunity to make lots of family memories.
We have lots of exciting activities planned for the Autumn term, which we know the children are going to enjoy.
If you have any questions, please do come and speak to me before or after school.
I look forward to getting to know your children and offering them a wide range of experiences this year.
Many Thanks
Mrs Farrant
Please remember: PE is on Tuesdays, so remember to wear your full PE kit to school. Library visits will also be on a Tuesday.

Maths Assessments
Year 4 - Multiplication test
In June, your child will need to take a short online test to make sure their times tables knowledge is at the expected level, answering questions up to 12x12. As well as practicing times tables and Rockstars at school, please ensure your child is recalling multiplication facts at home too. You can find further information about the test at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/multiplication-tables-check-development-process
Below I have attached a link to what the Year 4 times tables test will look like, this will be very useful for children to use at home: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
KIRFS
We have sent home KIRFs sheets with their homework. These are Key Instant Recall Facts that the children need to know to support other areas of maths. There is a set stuck in their homework books and a second set of the same facts to display somewhere at home to help you with regular practise. They will get a new set each half term.
