Get ready for Year 4
Free activities, book recommendations, and what to expect at school in Year 4
As your child moves into Year 4, they'll be encouraged to think independently and explore new topics. They will be formally tested on the times tables towards the end of the school year.
1. Activities
These free activities will help keep young brains active over the summer holidays, so your Year 4 child goes back to school ready to learn. You'll find more activities and ideas on our Kids' activities for age 7–9 and Summer fun pages.
2. Essential activity & reference books for age 8–9
For more activity books and book recommendations, visit our Find a book page.
