Welcome to Year 4

Welcome to the Class 4 page. Here you will find the parent letters, spelling lists and

information on times tables and KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts for Maths).

Please feel free to contact school if you have any questions or concerns to arrange

a chat with either Mrs McMeekin, Mrs Dodsworth, or any of the adults working in class 4.

We have a great half term planned with lots of fantastic learning opportunities - watch this space!

Times Tables & Maths

Times tables are another life skill which will help children, not only throughout their school life, but also in the adult world!

It is therefore essential that you help your child to learn ALL the times tables from x2 - x12. Knowing times tables by heart makes Maths easier for children and aids them in completing daily challenges.

Please also remember to use Times Table Rockstars, it is a great resource for practising times tables and will help your child prepare for the statutory test later this year. Your child should have their log in details in their reading book, if you need these again, please ask a member of the team.

KIRFs

This half term, the Key Instant Recall Facts that we want to focus on are the 6x tables. You can find the Year 4 KIRFS here too. We will work on these during the half term, then complete an assessment at the end of term.

Anglo-Saxon Day

Here are just some of the photos of us during our Anglo-Saxon Day in year 4. We invited parents to come in at the end of the day to look at what we had been learning and enjoying too!

We played a team quiz game to find out about Anglo-Saxon life; we used clues to find the names of place names, then plot them onto a map of the ancient kingdoms; we played a Kahoot quiz; we researched and wrote about their gods; we looked at the Bayeux tapestry, then used this to inspire our own art creations about the Battle of Hastings.

And we made bean stew, Herb Robert tea and tried making butter - our butter didn't work! Oh, and we used a fire steel to make sparks - we would have needed to do this to make fires in Anglo-Saxon times.
