Hello Kestrels and Parrots!  Welcome to Year 4 and our class page.

In English we will be reading The Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne.  Then we will focus on fiction writing 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs' by Pie Corbett and non-fiction writing, instructions on 'How to Trap a Wolf'. We will also be working on our spellings, punctuation and grammar together with finding and using great vocabulary.

In Maths we will be learning all of our times tables, remember to keep practicing these at home too in readiness for the National Multiplication Tables Test in June this year.  It'll soon be here!  EVERYONE has a login for TT Rockstars.  Ask your teacher if you don't know it, or email us for the information.  Use the sheet that has been stuck in your homework books.  

We shall also be working more on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as fractions.

Our Science topic this term is all about 'Observing Living Things in their Habitats and Animals Including Humans' (food chains).  

In Geography we will be finding out about 'All Around the World'. We are going to learn lots of new vocabulary linked to local and worldwide geography.

Our PE/Forest School is now on FRIDAY.  Please remember to come in PE kit/School Tracksuit and bring a coat and jumper to school just in case the weather changes.

Please remember to bring your own water bottle to school. You can keep this in school and it will be refilled each day.  We'll send them home at the end of the week for washing and returning to school the following week.

It is really important to read at home.  Please read your home reader as often as possible and ask an adult to write down the pages you have read. Read 3 times a week and remember to take your MyOn test too. You can also use MyOn Digital Library.  Talk about what you are reading with your parents!  Ask questions if you don't understand something, and as you read, make up the pictures in your head like your very own movie!  Perhaps you could share a story with younger siblings in the home?  We all enjoy a good story! 

Bring your reading/library books into school on a Tuesday (Star reading book) and Thursday (Star reading book/Library book) to be changed. You must bring your book EVERY Monday if you are reading a phonics books.

Remember to work hard and always try your best.

Mrs Sleigh and Miss Shaw
