Welcome to Year 4!

I hope you all had a fantastic and restful summer as we are going to be very busy this half term! 

We have lots planned for the next seven weeks and lots to look forward to, including a trip! 

Our theme this half term is Ancient Egypt and we have already helped Howard Carter with his famous discovery! Do you remember the name of the Pharoah we found? We will also link this with English, where we will write a newsp-aper report and a diary entry. As well as this, we will learn all about the Ancient Egyptians and their way of life. 

Maths No Problem is continuing this year and we love it! We are focusing on 'Numbers to 10, 000' for the first couple of weeks. After that, we will move onto 'Addition & Subtraction within 10, 000' and we may even start 'Multiplication & Division' before the half term is over. 

Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due in on a Wednesday. We will also have a specific times table(s) to focus on for that week, which will be tested the following Thursday.

Spellings are no longer tested on a weekly basis but the children will have daily opportunities to practice speicifc words liked with their theme. These will be put on SeeSaw so any practice at home of these would be great!

If you ever need to talk to me then please don't hesitate to come to me on the playground at the end of the day. Please keep checking back here and SeeSaw for updates. 

Miss Padmore :)
