W/B 8th June: Multiplication Tables Check week for Year 4

Important News: Year 4 MTC:
All year 4’s throughout the country are expected to undertake the Multiplication Tables Check in the second week back after half term. This week, the children familiarised themselves with the format of the check and carried out some practice tests. They were all very enthusiastic about this and we are proud of them for throwing themselves into this new challenge. Over the half term, it is important that the children regularly log into Times Tables Rock Stars to complete at least 5 games in the Soundcheck area as often as possible as this replicates the Check they will be taking on return to school. Thank you for your support with this.
Our learning this week:
Maths: This week, we have finished our learning on decimals and moved onto calculating with money. Please do help your child at home by letting them play with and count coins and notes to familiarise them with the denominations and help with this learning.
English: On Tuesday and Wednesday, the children wrote their final write linked to our book The Matchbox Diary, writing a biography of the main character’s life as he started a new life in America.
Art
Having created their collages, the children painted a background and mounted their work for display.
Forest School
As a treat to end the half term, the children spent the afternoon in the forest on Friday creating natural collages and toasting marshmallow over an open fire. We also came across some interesting creatures such as May bugs and newts. Lovely!
Homework:
