Here is the predicted timetable for the Spring term. This may change slightly depending on other factors, but our P.E. days will be Thursdays (with Mr O'Reilly) and Fridays.
Our topic this term is 'Castles'!
This topic will look at how, after the invasion by the Normans, many castles were built across Britain to assert dominance over the local population! We will also look at how castles developed from the early wooded hill forts to the complex and stone built castles built by the Normans. We will be looking at the geography of where castles were built as well as the various different parts, features and technology that developed around defending and attacking castles.
This term the pupils will be looking at fractions and developing their use of division and multiplication.
In early June 2025 the Year 4s will be doing their 'Multiplication Check'. They are given 6 seconds to answer times tables questions up to 12 x 12.
It is therefore really important to try to find time at home for your child to practise their times tables as practising them frequently is the only way to establish fluency in this area.
We are of course practicing these in school, but time and resources are limited and so individual practice at home is crucial.
I have linked to some resources at the bottom of this page which can be used to practise times tables fluency at home.

For Spring and Summer term, P.E. days will be Thursdays and Fridays.
