Welcome to Year 4!
To begin Summer 1, In English and VIPERS our class text is 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes. Pupils will be focusing on the writing to inform genre completing a newspaper report on the giants adventures. Children will be using VCOPS to identify key features and apply these to their own writing.
In Maths, we will be looking at:
Decimals
Shape
Measure
Time
In Science, we will be learning about the environment around us with a focus on habitats, food chains and classification.
In P.E. children will be learning new skills as they go swimming and learn dodgeball skills in Friday PE lessons. Children will need to bring swimming costumes/shorts to school with them. Information has been sent accordingly.
In Art this term children will be learning about sculpture with a focus on the sculptor Barbara Hepworth - We will be making our own 3D design from wire, using recycled materials to add detail, i.e newspaper to add padding.
Important Information:
Current spellings can be found below. These will be updated each half-term. Please ensure that your child practices these as often as they can. Spelling tests will be on a Monday. Maths home learning is set on Wednesdays and due back by the following Monday. We also strongly encourage the children to read at home. New books will be sent out on a Friday and will be expected on a Wednesday with Reading Journals. Please ensure these are signed before new books are issued.
Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS):
Children in Year 4 will complete a Multiplation Times table check - known as MTC. We will be practising these at school, however it is important that your child also has access to practice these at home. Each child now has a log-in, which can be found at the front of their maths home learning books. Please encourage your child to log-in and practice at home.
3x e-praise points will be awarded weekly, if your child plays for 21 minutes per week (which is recommended).
