Useful Information
Homework - Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due in the following Thursday. Homework in Year 4 will be Spellings and Times tables.
Multiplication tables check - Year 4 will have a multiplication tables check in June 2026. This will test them on their recall of multiplication facts up to 12 x 12. They will have 25 questions and will have 6 seconds to answer each one on a laptop. Please use TTTS as much as you can at home to encourage recall of multiplication facts.
Reading - Please record reading at home in reading records. Reading records will be checked daily. Every class competes to read to their teacher's height - a great incentive for a class treat once this height has been reached.
PE - We have 2 PE lessons per week - 1 outdoor and 1 indoor. Please ensure suitable PE kit is worn to school on those days. Please ask your class teacher if you are unsure of which days.
Below is information about our learning this term as well as links to useful websites to support learning at home.
Summer Term 1
In English this term, we are using the book The Dragon Machine, written by Helen Ward. Having lived a quiet and lonely life, George is surprised to discover that he has been given the gift to see dragons, but as they appear in great numbers, George also realises that this gift means that he is the chosen one to lead these powerful creatures back to the safety of the vast wilderness where they belong. We will use this book as inspiration to invent our own dragon and then recreate the story in our own words. We will then write a non-chronological report using our own dragon as inspiration.
English will link brilliantly to Art, where we will use clay to create our 3D dragon!
In Maths, we will begin the term by looking decimals. We will study aspects such as tenths and hundredths, rounding decimals and dividing 1- and 2-digit numbers by 10 and 100. We will then deepen our knowledge of decimals by linking them to money.
In Science, we will study Animals Including Humans, looking at aspects such as teeth and the human digestive system.
In History, we continue to study The Romans - this will be a big focus until May half term. We will explore the lasting legacy that the Romans left behind, as well as key figures such as Boudicca. We will also explore the Roman Army, houses, baths and how the Roman empire expanded.
