In English we have been fortunate enough totake part in a North West project based on poetry. We will be writing and performing poetry over the first few weeks. more details to follow!
In Maths, we will look at money as a unit. Miss Anders will focus on geometry in the session on a Friday. Please also encourage your child to complete TTRS as part of their homework. Any problems accessing this please do let me know.
Our geography unit will explore the UK and beyond! In our art, we will be looking at the theme of journeys.
On some afternoons we will be using the laptops and Scratch programme to create repeated patterns.
Miss Anders will be teaching the RE, music and the French this half term.
We will continue to add to our class toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation.
Homework:
Homework tasks will be linked to our learning in school. It should take your child about 20 minutes and it should be able to be completed independently or with some adult support.
Homework will be set on a Thursday and is due the following Wednesday.
Reading:
We love reading in Year 4. Children become better readers by practising reading as much as possible. We would encourage children to read with an adult or to be read to at home every day for 10 minutes. Children will bring home a book from our class library and should bring this (with their reading record) into school eahc day.
Times Tables:
Being able to recall times tables quickly and accurately helps children to succeed in all of our Maths lessons. Please help your child at home to practise times tables as much as they can. Questions, chanting and Times Tables Rockstars are all good ways to learn.
