Multiplication Tables Check 

With the Multiplication Tables Check getting nearer, we are finding any opportunity to practice our speed and fluency. This week, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and practised our 'Going for Gold' cards with a partner out in the playground. The children are making wonderful progress and practicing on the iPad using the Purple Mash MTC game on a daily basis. Use the following link to encourage your child to practice at home: https://www.purplemash.com/app/games/timestables_assessment

English

This half term, we will be focusing on the Literacy Shed short video, ‘The Wishgranter’. This Wishgranter is quite apathetic but when a wish for love becomes stuck in the well mechanism then the Wishgranter springs into action.  Although not everything goes to plan, all is well in the end!

Our learning opportunities linking to the film will include:

  • Retelling the story from various points of view.
  • Writing diary entries for the various characters.
  • Character descriptions.
  • Writing dialogues for two of the characters.

 

History

The Romans

This half term, Year 4 will be focussing on the Romans in our history lessons. Our main questions for this topic will be:

  • How did the Roman Empire impact Britain today?
  • What are some of the most famous Roman inventions?

We will answer these questions by researching and investigating the following focusses throughout our lessons:

  • The Roman Empire and its impact on Britain.
  • Julius Caesar’s attempted invasion in 55-54BC.
  • The Roman Empire by AD42 and the power of its army.
  • Successful invasions by Claudius and conquest.
  • Hadrian’s Wall.
  • British Resistance – Boudicca’s Rebellion.
  • Impact of technology, culture and beliefs.

Stunning Start 

When starting a new topic, we all begin with a Stunning Start to get the children interested and engaged with their new learning. For our Roman topic, the children had the opportunity to investigate and examine Roman artefacts, whilst trying to identify their use and purpose.

Whole Class Reading

In our English lessons, we will read ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ by Roald Dahl.

We will make predictions, analyse interesting vocabulary and infer information from the text. The children will practice writing sentences including commas, connective adverbs and imperative verbs. This grammar will then lead to the children writing their own set of instructions on how to make their own marvellous medicine. We will be reading Akimbo Adventures as our Whole Class reading book at the end of each day. This book provides the children with a fantastic insight into different cultures around the world.
