New spellings given out

PE: Monday and Wednesday. Children should come to school in their PE kits on these days.

Please ensure children's uniform, PE kit and swimming kit is clearly labelled with their name. 

 

Reading

Reading should be done for 10 minutes daily. The children's reading records should be signed and bought in  every Wednesday. Once the book has been read the children will then choose a new book to read at home. 

 

Times Tables

Times tables should be being learnt at home, as well as in school. This is in readiness for the Multiplication Check, which will be done in June. The children can practise their times tables by, saying them out loud or writing them down. Year 4 will need to have quick recall as well as knowing them well.

 

Swimming

As part of the National Curriculum, Year 4 will be going swimming on Wednesday mornings. It is part of their school day and essential for all children to attend. Please ensure your children has the correct kit in school. I would encourage children to bring their kit (swimming trunks/costume, a towel and a hat for girls) in on a Monday morning. 

 

 

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. 

 

Thank you for your continued support,

 Mrs Duka

Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

 

Year 4 will have their Multiplication Tables Check in June, the dates will be confirmed later on in the year.

 

It is important that all year 4 pupils practise their times tables for speed as well as accuracy. 

The check consists of 25 questions and the children have 6 seconds to answer each question.

 

Use the link below to practise as it is in the same format as the actual check.

Maths

The children will be developing and expanding their know knowledge across a wide range of mathematical topics. This will include:

  • Place Value – understanding the value of digits in numbers and how they help us read, write, and order numbers.

  • Decimals – exploring tenths, hundredths and thousandths and how this can link to multiplying and dividing deciamls.

  • Addition & Subtraction – developing efficient methods and solving real-life problems.

  • Multiplication & Division – strengthening times tables knowledge and learning formal written methods.

  • Fractions – finding fractions of amounts, comparing and ordering, and exploring equivalent fractions.

  • Angles – identifying and measuring angles.

  • Measurement – working with units of length, mass,  area, perimeter and time.

  • Statistics – collecting and interpreting data using graphs and tables.

Throughout the year, children will apply their learning through practical activities, problem-solving challenges, and reasoning tasks to help develop an understanding of how Maths applies to the world around them. 

Religious Education

We are following the Salford Diocese pilot scheme, which enables us reach our mission  to effectively develop children's faith and values.

 

Our focus topics are:

  • Creation and Covenant 

  • Prophecy and Promise 

  • Galilee to Jerusalem

  • Desert to Garden

  • To the end of the Earth.

We aim to create an environment where each child feels appreciated and inspired to develop  their faith, compassion, and understanding through a variety of prayers, conversation and creative activities.

Spanish

The children will begin a new Spanish scheme that is created to build their confidence in both spoken and written Spanish. This is displayed through a wide range of engaging activities, songs, and games, where they will expand their vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and start to form simple conversations with one another.

Geography

Our Geography focus this term is ‘The United Kingdom’. Children will explore how the United Kingdom is divided into counties, identifying unique food, wildlife and culture. They will also use their map skills to find physical and human features. They will expand their geographical vocabulary as they work through the units, learning and applying new words.

History

This term’s History topic is ‘Early Civilisation’. The children will consolidate knowledge and understanding when and where civilisation began, how the writing system had come into place, along with exploring buildings and architecture of the early civilisation.
