Read MoreMultiplication Tables Check
Published 10/06/22, by Richard GunsonWell, next week is the week! We will be taking the children out in small groups to complete their multiplication checks in line with new government assessment procedures.
This weekend is the children's last chance to practise. I suggest that they use this resource as it accurately mimics the test itself:

Go to 'adjust difficulty' and remove the 2, 5, 10 and 11 times tables as these will form only a very small part of the test itself.

Published 10/06/22, by Richard GunsonThis week is our Values week and here in Year 4, we have been looking at identity and belonging.

Published 16/05/22, by Richard GunsonToday, we began looking at time. To help our understanding, we created our own analogue clocks. Firstly, we examined how the day is split into two 12 hour blocks, AM and PM.
We began constructing our clocks by splitting the clock face into ‘past’ and ‘to’, adding the hours and then the minutes around the edges. Interestingly, when we get past the half hour mark, the minutes start counting backwards as we get closer to the next hour!

Read MoreClassifying Invertebrates
Published 04/05/22, by Richard GunsonToday we followed on from our learning about vertebrates and found out about all of the different types of invertebrates. Invertebrates have no spine (backbone). We were able to classify invertebrates as insects, arachnids, echinoderms, annelids, crustaceans, molluscs and protozoa based on their characteristics.

Published 04/05/22, by Richard GunsonWe are excited to announce there will be a talent show on the last day of term! We welcome all talents: singing, dancing, telling jokes, story writing and more! There will be class auditions to decide who will go through to the final which is on the last day of term, Friday 27th May. Our class auditions will be on Tuesday 17th May at lunchtime. If your child would like to audition, they need to be prepared on the day with anything they need e.g name of music track.
