Summer Term 2021

 

Our topic this term is Crime & Punishment!

 

This topic will look at how crime has been dealt with from ancient history through to the modern world. It is a theme which will allow us to explore how attitudes and culture has changed in different societies over time. 

 

English

 

Our first unit of work will focus on 'non-chronological reports' and will use rainforests as its theme.

 

It will use two books to explore this theme:

               

 

 

 

Maths

This term will be being used to ensure all pupils have the required skills and knowledge to be ready for the next academic year.

 

Our main focuses will be:

• Multiplication & Division
• Rounding
• Column Addition & Subtraction

 

Year 4 Multiplication Check

 

In late June the Year 4s will be doing their 'Multiplication Check'. They are given 6 seconds to answer timestables questions up to 12 x 12.

 

It is therefore really important to try to find time at home for your child to practise their timestables 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.

P.E.

Our P.E. days are currently Thursdays and Fridays, so can all pupils please come to school in their P.E. kits on these days. It would also be very helpful if earings are not worn on these days.
