Dates for your diary:
9-11th June: Multiplication Tables Check for Year 4
Friday 12th June: Beach and geography field trip – please let your child’s class teacher know if you can volunteer on this trip. Please note it will involve activities on the beach with the 2minute beach foundation as well as a walk along the downs to the sea wall and Pepperpot (see letter emailed earlier this week).
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 continued to familiarise 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. 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 next week (9-11th June). Thank you for your support with this.
Our learning this week:
Maths: This week, we have turned our attention to time and shape in our lessons as well as playing games and completing activities to develop the children’s knowledge in these areas.
English: We have started a new book this week – The Lion and The Unicorn – a story about one child’s experience of being evacuated in the war. The children have also completed a reading assessment.
Geography
We have started our new topic ‘Rainforests’ by looking at the location and physical features of the Amazon rain forest.
RE
This term, the children will be expanding their world view by learning from and about the humanist point of view. They will be looking at significant humanists and finding out about their beliefs.
