What should a child in Year 4 know?

The national curriculum says that children will learn to:
  • count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000.
  • find 1000 more or less than a given number.
  • count backwards through zero to include negative numbers.
  • recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones)

How can I improve my year 4 spelling?

Here are several tips to help your child improve their spelling:
  1. Make sure your child understands the different sounds that letter combinations make.
  2. Help your child recognise word families.
  3. Help your child memorise common spelling rules.
  4. Practice spelling words with worksheets and spelling tests.
