Term 4
Welcome back to Term 4! this is an exciting term with lots to look forward to. We start things off with a fencing enrichment tomorrow (please wear PE kit). It is The Leaf Trust Literature Festival and World Book Day so there will be lots of events aimed at boosting reading for pleasure and it is our Easter performance with Year 4. We are going to be very busy!
English
This term our focus text is Our Tower by award-winning children’s poet Joseph Coelho. This is a picture book that tells the enchanting story of three children looking for adventure in their tower block. We will begin by creating our own version of the story before creating a non-chronological report about our own magical forest creature.
Maths
This term our focus will be on fractions. We will continue to focus on out times table and in particular our recall speed. Please make sure you are continuing to get lots of practise on Numbots and TTRockstars to help you with your learning! You wouldn’t believe what a difference even just 5 minutes a day can make.
Spelling
We will continue to have daily spelling lessons. You can find the weekly spelling lists for the term attached above. Please support your children to practise these.
Remember to access Spelling Shed so that your children can practise their weekly spellings. We have also set a range of grammar and writing based activities on Spelling Shed so be sure to check out those too for some extra practice!
Log ins for Ed shed, Numbots and TTRockstars can be found at the front of the children’s new reading records.
Spelling sheets can be found in the attached link and will be posted on dojo and paper copies will be sent home.
Humanities
In History, our focus moves from the Iron Age to the Roman Invasion of Britain. We will be exploring the theme of conflict and travel and considering what made the Romans successful invaders. In Geography, we will link to our history by exploring the human and physical features of Italy.
Our humanities Knowledge Organiser is below and a paper copy will be sent home.
Science
In science we will be exploring forces and magnets.
Art
We will be exploring the work of the Japanese artist Hokusai.
PE
PE will always be on a Tuesday (with progressive sports) and Thursday with Ms Allen. On Week 1 the children have a fencing workshop booked in on Day 1 so children will need PE kit on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week please.
