Please scroll down for this term's Home Learning.
Our Autumn Term topic is....
Anglo-Saxons
This term, we will be learning about the Anglo-Saxons. Our main focus will be history with some geography lessons to learn about historical place names and why they settled where they did. We will learn about when they came to Britain and what their life was like. We will discuss their houses, religions and many other parts of their lives.
Spelling
Spellings will be taught each week within school with regular opportunities given to practise the rule we are learning. There will be no test of the word list. A spelling list can be found below so that you can practise the words and the rule at home.
Autumn Home Learning
We understand that at times it can be tricky to print any final test scores from the Times Tables Check from https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check. So a score can be recorded in your child's yellow log.
It is important that any reading or times tables that your child completes is recorded in their home reading logs.
Home Learning Resources
Below are links to all the home learning documents, mentioned on the home learning grid. Please note, that there are also paper copies of each activity available in both Year 4 classrooms in the home learning boxes.
Resources
Maths
As spoken about in our meet the teachers presentations, times tables are extremely important for Year 4 children who will now have 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.

We have a competition running for all children in years 2-6, which aims to improve the children's times tables knowledge using the Times Tables Rockstars website. Each week, the child with the highest correct answers in their class will be awarded with a certificate, which will be displayed on our Rockstars board. At the end of the week, they will be able to bring their certificate home.
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural in Year 4
- We have regular Class Council meetings.
- Each week, we have time for 'collective worship' where, as a class, we discuss and learn together about the world and also thought-provoking questions.
