Our Spring Term topic is....
The Rainforest
This term, we will be learning about rainforests. Our main focus will be science, history, geography lessons. In science we will learn about living things and their habitats including the classification of animals, environments and food chains. In history we will learn about the Mayan Civilisation and contrast this to British history. In geography we will learn about biomes, climage zones and the location of the world's rainforests.
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.
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.
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.

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.
