Y4 Multiplication Check

Once the children return to school after half term, the testing window for the Year 4 MTC will be open.

The testing window will take place from Monday 5th June until Friday 16th June. Children will be completing the test in small groups using school iPads. Children have had opportunities to practise completing the MTC several times prior to the official check taking place so should feel comfortable with the set up.

If you would like to help support your child with this at home, please encourage the use of TTRS – this will have been set by the class teacher to target specific questions which the children can improve their recall on.

Help with tables at home – NJS You can also make use of some resources from this booklet which includes lots of tips to help your child with their fluent recall of all times tables.

We are very proud of our Yr 4 children and we know that they will all take this as an opportunity to shine in their maths, as they have been all year.

If you have any questions regarding the MTC Framework then please speak to myself (Y4 Maths Lead) or to Mr Jones (Whole School Maths Lead)

We have really enjoyed our surprise visit from a Juno Helicopter!

4J absolutely loved learning facts about the Juno helicopter, meeting the crew and getting to sit inside. What an exciting morning!

4J & 4P have enjoyed art inspired by Matisse today!

Well done to all of the children from 4J & 4P who have created their own versions of Matisse’s ‘Icarus’ art work this afternoon. The children are enjoying working in groups to achieve this. 4P will be finishing their work on Monday.

Well done to all the children, Ms Branton & Ms Anderson for a fabulous day.

Well done to all children who took part in the Coronation art competition!

A huge thank you to our art ambassadors & all children who took part in the Tower of London art competition to celebrate the King’s coronation. We were very excited to receive coronation bunting from The Tower of London celebrating the children’s designs from all schools who have entered.

Coronation Crown Winners

This morning, we had a parade of crowns to select the prize winners for the best crowns in each class. A fantastic effort was made by every child who wore a crown to school today, which made it very tricky for the staff to choose a winner. Well done everyone!!

Here are the winners for each year group:

Year 3 –

Year 4 –

Year 5 –

Year 6 –

NJS WINNERS!

Year 4 at The Chetwynd Deer Park

Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed their trip at the Deer Park today. We enjoyed pond dipping, guessing natural objects hidden in boxes & learning about edible bugs & the amount of protein they provide us. All the children had a fantastic time.

Yr 4 Parents – Important MTC Info

2023_Information_for_parents_Multiplication_tables_check_Nov_22_PDFA

Every year, children in Yr 4 across the nation will complete an official Multiplication Tables Check – MTC. This check is designed to assess whether children can fluently recall their times tables up to 12 x 12, which is essential for success in mathematics.

Children in Yr 4 have been learning their tables regularly, as part of the national curriculum and lots of hard work has been going into making sure they are ready to complete the MTC. Yr 4 staff have been setting challenges, making use of TTRS, singing songs, playing games and much more to ensure that children are as well prepared as they can be for the MTC.

The testing window will take place from Monday 5th June until Friday 16th June. Children will be completing the test in small groups using school iPads. Children have had opportunities to practise completing the MTC several times prior to the official check taking place so should feel comfortable with the set up.

If you would like to help support your child with this at home, please encourage the use of TTRS – this will have been set by the class teacher to target specific questions which the children can improve their recall on.

Help with tables at home – NJS You can also make use of some resources from this booklet which includes lots of tips to help your child with their fluent recall of all times tables.

We are very proud of our Yr 4 children and we know that they will all take this as an opportunity to shine in their maths, as they have been all year.

Please see the PDF Document attached which is put out by the Department for Education to inform parents about the MTC.  If you have any questions regarding the MTC Framework then please speak to a member of the Yr 4 teaching team, or to Mr Jones (Maths Lead)
