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:

4G are going to Colchester Castle on Tuesday 3rd February and 4C will be going on Thursday 5th February. Please ensure that packed lunch has been provided and that a coat is worn as we will have to wait outside for the coach and to be let in to the castle. 

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.

Pick of the Week

We are going to be finishing the book 'Julius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans in our Literacy lessons. We will be writing what we think is going to happen next. 

In Maths we are moving on to learning about measures. We will be looking at measuring in km and m as well as comparing them. We will also look at how to measure perimeter. 

We are continuing to learn about the Romans and how the Roman empire ended. 

In Science we are continuing to learn about sound and investigating how sound travels. 

 

It is assessment week. We will be completing tests in all the core subjects. These include arithemetic and reasoning in maths. We will also complete a reading paper and a GPS paper. 

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.
