Welcome to Year 4! Miss McKevitt and Miss Toomey are the class teachers in Puffin Class, and Miss Gibson is the class teacher in Wren Class.
Our daily homework is to read to an adult at home and practise our times tables and spellings to ensure we make the best possible progress during our time in Year 4. Please let your class teacher know when you have read through the Reading Record. Spellings are given weekly on a Monday and tested on a Friday. Times Tables are tested weekly, usually on a Thursday.
Multiplication Tables Check
The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is a Key Stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of Year 4 (in June). The purpose of the MTC is to make sure times tables knowledge is at the expected level. The MTC is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12. For every question they have 6 seconds to answer and in between the questions there is a 3 second rest. Questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times tables come up more often. The questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.
How to prepare: A good way to prepare is start early and build a daily routine practising the times tables. With regular practise children learn all the questions and gain confidence. We suggest practising 10 to 15 minutes a day for optimal results. We have added a list of links to pages that can help pupils practise the skills they need for the MTC:
