Year 4

Dear Families,

Welcome back to Autumn term 2. We hope you had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to a fun-filled second half term!

We have got some brilliant projects planned for this half term. These includes learning about the ancient Greeks which will end with an ancient Greek day. This is a fabulous time for children to come to school to school dressed as an ancient Greek and immerse themselves within, food, culture, Olympic games and Greek Gods. Additionally, children will be delving into looking at 'The digestive system' within science as well as creating a moving santa sleigh within our D+T project on mechanisms.

At the beginning of the Summer term, children will under go a government based multiplication test. It is imperative that the children start practicing their times tables as soon as possible. We will incorporate times table practice weekly during Maths lessons as well as provide homework on Sumdog. But we encourage parents to support children with practising at home. Furthermore, we have a added biweekly spelling practice on to Sumdog, which children will have 2 weeks to complete.

Below you’ll find the learning taking place over the next 7 weeks. You will also find the homework grid. Homework is now compulsory, so please encourage your child to complete some or all of the activities. You will find all the resources on the google classroom. Your children access this in class regularly so should be confident using it at home. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or queries to get in touch.
