Find out what Sea lion class have been learning
Welcome!
A warm welcome to Sea Lion Class from Mr O'Connor and Mrs Butler.
Our curriculum
In year 4, the children become even more independent and opportunities start to arise where some children can take part in competitive sports events outside of school. In June, they also do a times tables check.
The purpose of the check is to determine whether children can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics, and to help identify children who may need additional support. You can click here to find out more - Please help your child to learn their times tables at home.

Multiplication tables check
In June, children in year 4 participate in the national multiplication tables check.
The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help us to identify if your child may need additional support. You can find out more by reading the Department for Education parent leaflet below:
