Our topic this term is.... 

Ancient Greeks. In English this half-term, we will be reading 'The Beasts of Olympus' and learning some popular Greek myths. During our topic sessions, we will be focusing on Ancient Gods that the Greeks believed in and comparing the life of Ancient Greek children to childhood now. We will also look at where the Olympics began and how they have evolved into the games we enjoy now.  

Maths

Times tables are extremely important for Year 4 children who will now have to undertake the Government's Multiplication Check at the end of the year. Here is a link to a site where children can practise the check. We will also be using this in school.

• Multiplication Tables Check Practice

At Abbot's Hall, we aim for children to be secure with all their times tables by the end of Year 4. You could use these websites below to practise these:

Home Learning

The home learning grid has been sent home to pick one activity to do per week. Paper copies of each resource are also available in a resource box found in both year 4 classrooms, along with lined, squared or plain paper. Home learning is due every Friday and will be monitored each week by your child's class teacher. Please make sure your child's home learning has their name on it. Pupils need to stick it in their home learning book when they bring the piece of learning to school.

Home learning club is on a Tuesday lunchtime in Mrs Roger's Y3 classroom if children would like to complete it in school or are struggling to complete it at home and need some help. As always, if your child is struggling with completing their home learning or they have any questions, they should not hesitate to speak to their class teacher.
