Welcome To Otter Class

Welcome back! I can't believe this is our last half term in Year 4, how quickly has that time gone. 

Fingers crossed now for some sunny weather and less rain.

This half term, the children will be learning lots of new things. In English, the children will be reading the book The Village that Vanished and subsequently writing a balanced argument about whether one of main characters should stay or leave her village. 

In maths, the children will be learning about time, shape and position and direction. 

In science the children will be investigating environmental pollution and the impacts on the planet. 

Lastly, the children will be studying geography (Europe and its neighbours), Spanish, PSHE, PE and Art.

We have the excitement of sports day this half term and also we will be taking the children on a local walk to the church, this will link to our RE topic.

Lets make it a great half term!

Please don't hesitate to catch up with me at any point before or after school.

Year 4 - Multiplication test

In June, your child will need to take a short online test to make sure their times tables knowledge is at the expected level, answering questions up to 12x12. As well as practicing times tables and Rockstars at school, please ensure your child is recalling multiplication facts at home too. You can find further information about the test at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/multiplication-tables-check-development-process

Below I have attached a link to what the Year 4 times tables test will look like, this will be very useful for children to use at home: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
