Important Information
The gates will open from 8:30am. The class register will be taken at 8:45am and learning will begin immediately after this. It is vital that pupils are on time to school so that they do not miss any important learning.
Pupils should bring to school each day:
- A water bottle with their name on
- Suitable clothing for the weather to ensure they are comfortable during outdoor break times
- A packed lunch (if required)
Pupils are to be collected from school at 3:15pm

- 4 Pine have P.E. every Tuesday and Wednesday

Homework is given out every Friday and is due back the following week. Homework is optional to complete
Multiplication
Children in year 4 should know all of their times tables (up to 12 x 12) in preparation for the multiplication check later this academic year. We will practise these in class and it would be beneficial for children to practise these at home. Children should be able to answer each question within 6 seconds.
