Independence In Year 4 we expect the children to develop their independence skills. This includes: Putting their own belongings away in the mornings Putting home/school contact books into the box/tray Looking after jumpers – making sure they are in their trays & clearly labelled Changing their own reading books Choosing appropriate resources to support their learning, such as a number line or hundred square when adding and using various vocabulary/ displays around the classroom. Writing in the Home/School contact book when they have read.
