Year 4

Welcome to Year 4's page all about the fantastic things that we are doing in 4G and 4C!

We have lots of exciting things happening this half term and will share them with you here.   

 Just a few reminders for the week:

PE is on a Thursday afternoon - children to come to school in their PE kit. Please make sure they are wearing the correct kit. Earrings need to be removed by the child or before school, we are not allowed to help with this.

Homework has been set on edshed. There is a maths quiz and spelling games set to be completed every week. Children should know their logins and these have been sent home.

Please also make sure to be logging on to TT Rockstars. Playing the garage game will help you to learn your times tables.  This is a valuable tool to help the children learn their times tables as well as prepare them for the Multiplication Tables Check they will be taking in June. The soundcheck game mimics the real test. 

We are going to be reading the book 'Julius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans in our Literacy lessons. We will be focusing on using conjunctions and introducing fronted adverbials to out sentences. 

In Maths we are continuing to look at multiplication and division. We will be looking at written methods for multiplication and the bus stop method for division.  

We are continuing to learn about the Romans and we will start looking at how the Romans laid their towns out and why. 

In Science we are moving on to learning about sound and investigating how sound travels. 

In Literacy we will be continuing our book study on the book Julius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans. We will be using the book to do some writing using dialogue punctuating speech correctly using inverted commas and reporting clauses. 

In Maths we will be continuing to look at multiplication and division problems working on correspondence problems using known facts. 

During the first half term, 4G will be doing forest school. Half of the class will be going on a Monday afternoon and the other half will be going out on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure they have the appropriate clothing.  

Every Thursday one of the Year 4 classes visited Ghost Woods to experience Forest School in the Autumn term. We walk there and get the chance to explore and have the freedom to choose our activities. The swing is a popular activity as is building a mud kitchen and making a range of items out of wood.
