Reading
Another fun reading website for you to enjoy during the school closure.
This one is designed for children who find reading more challenging as it revisits phonics.
This site follows the phonics scheme we use in school so is a really good one to use alongside Oxford Reading Buddy.
Click on the link below.
Parents!
I have managed to find a great website offering free phonics games and support for parents during the school closure.
If your child finds reading more challenging then revisiting some phonics will be really useful to support them.

Notes for the Easter Holidays
Hi Year 4!
Well, it's the holiday! We can’t believe it’s already the end of term! We wish we could celebrate together, but it’s been fantastic to chat to lots of you on the phone this week. You are doing an amazing job with your home learning, so well done to you (and your parents) for having such a brilliant attitude towards your studies.
Are you ready to enjoy a break?
As it’s the Easter holidays, we will not be setting any new home learning tasks for the next two weeks.
The next daily set of lessons will be added to the website for Monday 20th April.
However, you can keep contacting us at the email address y4@anglesey.bham.sch.uk
We wish you a happy holiday, during this difficult time.
We have three or four ideas that might help you over the holiday fortnight. So, here they are …
•Oxford Reading
•White Rose Maths
•Revision
•Chess Club
1.Oxford Reading
You have been doing SO well with this!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ LOTS
OVER THE HOLIDAYS
One book a day
is a great target.
(Have a day off each week!)
The teachers will keep looking at what you have been reading. We will be able to move you up a level, when you have completed your eight excellent quizzes.
2. Numeracy
White Rose Maths
If you want to keep your Numeracy ticking over nicely, as well as your Reading, try the fun activities that you will find here each day of the holidays:
3. Revision
If you want extra things to do, why not look back over the ideas from the last two weeks?
This is a really good opportunity for you to catch up on anything you’ve missed, or practise things you have found tricky.
There’s probably so much there that you did not have time to do the first time around.
Why not explore some of it again now?
4.Chess Club
Finally, have a think about the Chess Club that is beginning after the holiday.
The club will be available to all Year 3 and Year 4 children after the holiday.
No previous knowledge required!
No equipment required! (We’re going to make it!)
Mr Jordan and Mr Moore will be explaining everything after the holidays.
Might you want to join …??

Friday 3rd April
Good Morning Year 4! Happy Friday! We hope you and your families are all doing well! Here are some activities for today…
LITERACY
1.Oxford Reading.
Yet again – for the second day in a row –
Year 4 readers have been doing such a fantastic job that we – AGAIN - have a
new best total!
(Drum roll …) Yesterday, Year 4 children read
62
books in a day (beating the previous best of 53).
RECORD-BREAKING READERS
Here’s a list of the yesterday’s record-breaking readers:
Ismaeel, Amaya, Isa, Neha, Hameedah, Hajerah (all 4D) Manal, Aaminah, Zaidane, Humayra, Mariah, Khairah, Habeeba, Iqra, Khulud, Moriom, Fatima, Jawad (all 4C), Umairul, Adam, Fawziah, Mahima, Alina, Marya, Sumayyah, Laibah and Laila (all 4M).
Fawziah, Sumayyah, Adam and Ismaeel (again!) all went up a level yesterday. Tremendous reading everybody!
We are aware that some children have had recent difficulties accessing ebooks on the website. This is the message we have had from Oxford regarding this:
'We are aware that some users are experiencing problems opening some eBooks in the latest version of Chrome. We are working on a solution, and this should be fixed on Friday 3 April. In the meantime, please try Edge, Safari or Firefox. We apologise for any inconvenience.'
If any of you continue to have any further difficulties, please email us using the year group email and we will contact Oxford on your behalf.
2. Vocabulary.
We had lots of help with yesterday's special word. Thank you very much for emailing your super sentences to us.
The boy was sitting at the doctors being very anxious and fidgety because he was going to have an injection.
Fayiza (4M)
Coming close to the end of our amazing, tricky game of hide and seek, I was getting anxious because the seeker was coming closer my way.
Isa (4D)
I was feeling very anxious today because my results of my English test were coming.
Khairah (4C)
Today’s special vocabulary word is ‘compassion’. Can you work out what it means? See if these sentences help you …
•The nurse had a lot of compassion for others, looking after her patients kindly.
•The robber showed no compassion for those he stole from.
•My boss showed compassion when he allowed me to work at home, so I could care for my ill mother.
3.Spelling
Here’s a reminder of the Year 3 & 4 spellings,
in case you want to check how many you know.
4. Writing
Today, we can round off all our story-writing for the week.
Here are some ideas about checking your final draft, before you produce your final, final version!
Well done for writing your fascinating, stupendous stories!

During this time of school closure, Year 4 teachers are recommending the goal of reading at least one book each day (Monday to Friday). Please take the quiz too.
There are lots of fabulous books to enjoy and we would encourage them to make this a regular habit so that your child learns books are to be enjoyed.
If your child has mislaid their login, please can they request it again from their class teacher.
We monitor in school how often your child uses the site and it helps us to plan support for your child in school.
This is an invaluable resource for helping your child continue their learning while at home.
Thank you for your support.
I am delighted to welcome children and parents to the new academic year, 2019-2020. We also welcome Miss Devi to the Juniors and look forward to a year packed with exciting topics and fascinating trips to enhance learning.
Our Year 4 teachers are:
4C Mrs. Cumberbatch Year Manager Mrs. Galloway Teacher (4C Friday)
4M Mr. Moore Teacher
4D Miss Devi Teacher
Mrs Ragbotra Teaching Assistant
Miss Judge Teaching Assistant
This Autumn our topic focus is Geography, as we compare amazing Atherston with bustling Birmingham. This will also form the basis of much of our writing.
In Numeracy, our focus is on Place Value and the four operations.
Children must be able to quickly recall all tables up to and including 12 x 12.
We encourage children to learn the Year 3/4 spelling list, which has been sent home. Please encourage your children to practise these on a regular basis.
Homework is given every Friday and we ask that parents support and help children with their homework and encourage them to read a wide range of materials.
Important dates this term:
Atherstone Trips: Monday 23rd September and Tuesday 24th September
Birmingham City Trips: Monday 30th September and Tuesday 1st October
21 Children from the year group will be given the opportunity to stay at
The Brighouse, a residential setting where they will be involved in a field trip. This will take place from the 7th to the 8th of October. Further details will be sent out nearer the time.
PE Timetable:
It is likely that PE will take place outdoors throughout the year, even during the colder months, so we ask that children have the correct clothing and footwear.
- White top
- Shorts
- Tracksuit bottoms (Winter)
- Tracksuit Jacket (Winter)
- Trainers
4D Monday and Tuesday
4C Wednesday and Friday
4M Tuesday
4M are also currently swimming on Thursdays. It is important than children have their costumes and towels every week.
Thank you for your continued help and support.
As part of International Fitness Day, Year 4 took part in a few dances.
Check out our fun video, showing how active we can be. Go to the Gallery tab at the top.
Our Spring term is a continuation of buzzing topics to capture the children's imagination.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of Shakespeare's comical plays, sets the scene to help our Year 4 classes dip into the world of The Master Bard. Children explore prose and play scripts, comparing the language features and writing styles.
The Iron Man, deemed to be a modern fairy tale, is a compelling novel which forms the basis for exploring reading skills and a selection of writing, including a Newspaper article. It's a good idea to get your child to look at the layout of newspaper articles - National Geographic and First News are some of the most popular children's newspapers.
In Maths, we are focusing on multiplication, division, Area, Perimeter, Fractions and Decimals.
As we approach the national tests for times tables, children have been reminded to continue learning all times tables up to 12 x 12 and the corresponding division facts, so that their recall is rapid.
The link below can be used to help with the practice test.
https://www.timestables.co.uk/speed-test/
We are looking forward to welcoming Mrs. Begum to Year 4 after the half- term holiday and Mrs. Gayle will also be a part of the Year 4 teaching team.
Children will learn about fire safety from the experts, as firefighters promise a vibrant workshop to teach our kids about keeping safe in the home.
As we approach the summer term, there will be opportunities for the children to learn about Teeth and Sound in Science and Ancient Egypt in History.
We look forward to seeing parents for an update at Parent's Evening on February 12th.
