We will begin with negative numbers and place value, then move onto fractions and geometry. We will make sure our times tables are strong to help us in other areas of maths.

Our English units will be Stories from another Culture (from South America) and Debates. After half term, we will move onto the tale of Gulliver’s Travels, and non-chronological reports on Europe
Religious Education
Our R.E. unit is called ‘Jesus, the Teacher’. We will look at Jesus’s early life and how he taught using parables. After half term, we will move onto the theme of ‘Reconciliation’.
Science
Our Science topics are Animals and their Habitats and The Digestive System. We will be looking at how we can classify animals and make our own classification keys. We will then look in detail about teeth and how to look after them before learning about the digestive system.

Homework
Homework will be set on a Friday and collected the following Friday.
There will be a piece of maths, handwriting, and grammar. These will revise key areas of maths/grammar.
Children in Class 4 are also expected to complete comprehensions on Read Theory and practise times tables on Times Tables Rockstars. Please let me know if your child does not have access to online resources.
Home Reading
Children in Class 4 must read at least 3 times a week out loud to an adult. We will check for three signatures every Monday.
It would be extremely beneficial if you could hear your child read every night.

Class 4 have made 3D maps of the area where the Maya people lived.
Remembrance Art
Class 4 have illustrated Remembrance Sunday in their artwork.
Drama workshops
Class 4 took part in drama workshops with Mrs Woltering from Fisher More. They had a fantastic morning and really enjoyed this experience.
