Our curriculum
We are well underway for our challenge pack, so far we have looked at the Anglo Saxons and the Renaissance period. This half term we will be moving on to looking at pop art. Last term we focused on the historical side but this term we will be focusing more on key artists and having weekly art lessons to help support our NICER learning.
Maths: in maths we will revisit rounding and focus on fractions and decimals.
Everyone in class has a login for TimeTable Rock stars. This is an extremely fun and enjoyable way of helping the children learn their times tables. Year 4 have really improved and even won the trophy for doing so well.
Year 4 have a multiplication check this year so it is so important that practise is fitted in. your children will also have paper copies of their times tables in their homework diaries.
English: in English, we will be working closely with our NICER topic and Science. We have begun looking at a balanced argument around whether we should keep animals in zoos. We will also be writing a biography of an artist linked to our NICER.
Reading books: When reading at home if you could make a record in their homework diaries this would be a great help. Please make sure reading books and dairies are in school every day.
PE: We will have PE on Tuesday afternoons. Please can children have their PE kit in school on Monday through to Friday just in case this plan changes at any time. Please ensure all clothing and PE Kit is named. This half term we will be concentrating on ball skills. Thank you for your support.
