Spellings
Your child will be given a list of spellings to practise each week. We will complete spelling activities in class to help your child practise their spellings and spelling rules.
In addition to this, your child can practise their spellings online on Spelling Shed. The spellings will be added to Spelling Shed each week. Please encourage your child to practise their spellings at home. Accurate spelling is an important part of the process of your child learning to write and so children MUST practise each week.

Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)
All year 4 pupils in England will take the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). This academic year, the test will be happening between Monday 1st June and Friday 12th June 2026.
The Government made the check compulsory in 2022, stating:
‘The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is
essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet
mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.’
Further information is detailed in the links below.
