Welcome to Year 4 at Causeway Green Primary School

Year 4 is for children aged 8–9 and is the second year of Key Stage 2. At this stage, pupils continue to grow in independence and confidence, both in their learning and in their approach to school life. Some children will also start to take on more responsibility for homework, particularly in developing their spelling and times tables knowledge.

In English and maths, there is a strong focus on securing key skills such as accurate use of apostrophes and commas, confident recall of times tables, and applying spelling rules effectively. Year 4 is also when children take part in the national Multiplication Tables Check, designed to assess fluency in times tables up to 12 × 12. You can find more information about this assessment below.

Year 4 provides the foundations that prepare pupils for the increasingly challenging curriculum of upper Key Stage 2, helping them to become resilient, confident and motivated learners.

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check 

In Year 4, your child will learn to recall multiplication and division facts for times tables up to 12 × 12. They will use place value, number facts, factor pairs, commutativity, and inverse operations in mental calculations. In June, your child will take part in the times tables check. Take a look at the attached files and visit the Oxford Owl Year 4 multiplication tables check page to find out about the assessment and to discover how you can help at home.
