Hello and welcome to Year 4! I'm Miss Hollerer and I am delighted to be teaching Year 4 this year.
Year 4 is such an exciting part of Key Stage 2, full of opportunities to grow and learn. This year, we’ll be building on everything you’ve achieved so far, developing greater independence, and embracing new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.
In our class, we’ll be diving into a wide range of subjects – from exploring the Ancient Egyptians, electricity, and volcanoes, to becoming confident readers, writers and mathematicians. Creativity and curiosity are at the heart of our learning, and we’ll enjoy plenty of hands-on activities, projects and experiences to help bring our lessons to life.
Most importantly, Year 4 is a time to grow not just academically, but also as kind, thoughtful members of our school community. We’ll work together, support one another and celebrate our achievements along the way.
I can’t wait to see all the fantastic things we will accomplish this year – it’s going to be a brilliant journey!

- On Monday, we have PE.
- Please ensure your child is wearing correct PE kit which consists of black joggers/leggings, a black jumper/hoodie and a plain white t-shirt and trainers.
- The children are required to take their reading books and yellow reading journals home and return them to school every day.
Every Friday, we have a spelling test. The children's weekly spelling test scores will be recorded in their reading journals.
If you are interested in having a look at what Year 4 will be up to this year, you can see our long term plan here:
- In Year 4, the children should read their reading books for at least 15 minutes daily, either independently or with an adult.
- Please encourage your child to do so!
Your child will be able to regularly choose books matched to their reading level from our school library, which they can read at home and in school.
We aim for every child to complete a comprehension quiz at least once a fortnight on the reading book they have chosen. Their score out of 100 will be recorded in their yellow reading record for their parent or guardian to see. It is essential that children read their reading books at home regularly in order to be successful in the comprehension quizzes.
- Ten spellings per week will be stuck into the children's reading record to practice at home and in school. These spellings will be tested every Friday.
- Every week, the children will be set an assignment on Spelling Shed to support with their spelling practice.
- You can access Spelling Shed here: https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/login/school
It is important that children in Year 4 use Times Table Rockstars regularly at home to improve their times table fluency.
You can access Times Tables Rockstars here: https://play.ttrockstars.com
This also supports the children's preparation for the statutory Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check. The children will sit this test in the Summer Term.
While it is important that they are prepared, it is not something we want children to worry about. We will also be doing plenty of times tables practice in class to get the children ready.
The children's logins for Spelling Shed and TTRockstars are stuck into the front and back covers of their yellow reading records.
Miss Hollerer will award prizes each week to the children with the most engagement!
