Instead of spellings this week, we are sending home a times tables sheet for children to practice with at home. In class we have found that learning the multiplication facts, help the children answer the questions better. Therefore, it would be worth encouraging your child to answer with the number sentence and the answer.
For example:
Adult: five fives?
Child: five times five is twenty five.
This week Year 4 are concentrating on their 7 and 11 times tables.
Please encourage your children to practise them as much as possible.

The children are also taking part in a Year 4 Viking Academy Trust-wide competition on TTRS called Top of the Rocks. Let's get RAPS to the top of the leader board!

On Friday, the results of TTRS' England Rocks competition were published. Fenix, in Team Cialis, came 2nd in the whole school. This helped the school to get on to the leaderboard. Let's say WELL DONE FENIX! He took home a certificate on Friday!
This week, the Viking Academy Trust TTRS battle will be taking place. So we need you to log on and play as much as you can to ensure that RAPS win the competition! I will be checking the scores as the battle ends and the person with the most plays at the end of the week, will win a prize!
This week Year 4 are concentrating on their 3, 6 and 9 times tables.
Please encourage your children to practise them as much as possible.

Times Tables play a huge role in your child's maths learning. Even ten minutes a day can make a big difference!
There are some really fun ways to learn and two sites the children love are:

All the times tables need to be learnt but our focus at the moment are the 3, 6 and 9 times tables.
This week, children in year 4 have been learning about different electrical inventions. The children have been creating fact files about either Thomas Edison's Modern Electric Lightbulb or Florence Parpart's Electric Refridgerator. Have a look at some of their work!
I am so proud of everyone's work well done!
RAPS will be taking part in TTRS England Rocks next week. This runs from 14th-16th November (7:30am-7:30pm each day). There is a limit of 60 mins per player each day. It would be great to have as many RAPS children taking part as possible over the 3 days!
This term in Topic, Year 4 are learning about Our Electric World. On Friday, we learnt about the hazards of electricity and what we can do to stay safe in and out of our homes.
The children came up with and performed educational adverts to demonstrate the dangers of electricity.
Attached are the yr 4 spellings ready for Friday.
