Reading at home

 We encourage all children to read each night and record it in their reading diaries. If they read for four nights a week, they will earn 4 tokens for their house and get a raffle ticket in the jar! At the end of the term, I'll pull one raffle ticket out and the winner will receive a £10 Gift Card!

Happy reading!

Congratulations to our Autumn 1 term winner!

Class Reading book

We are currently reading...

Middy and her cousin Nathan, aka the Wonder Brothers, are pretty good at magic themselves but perhaps promising to bring back Blackpool Tower on live TV wasn't their smartest move. But when they, their big cousin Brodie and a giant rabbit end up in Las Vegas, as if by magic, maybe anything is possible

Spellings

This year we will be following the Active Spelling program. We will not be sending home weekly spellings for the children to learn , it will all be covered during school time. However, if you would like your child to practice any of the spellings them I have attached the Year 4 spelling overview. Any questions please feel free to ask.

Maths 

The children knowing their times tables is key going forward in their education. As a class we agreed that practice, practice practice is the only way to improve, so I have added lots of links to games, ideas for practice, the children can also ask me at anytime for paper copies for worksheets to help them. Please encourage your child to use these and to practice! Any questions please feel free to speak to Mr Braddish.

This term Year 4 have an exciting opportunity to learn fencing! They are so excited. Take a look at our first lesson.

Geography

In year 4 we have been looking at the local area, discovering local towns and cities. Today we investigated OS maps and used the key to identify symbols on the maps.

History

In history we have been studying the Anglo Saxons, investigating their beliefs, how and why they came to Britain. To make our learning come to life we invited an Anglo Saxon expert to explain and show interesting artefacts to the children. We all loved it!!
