Please scroll down for this term's Home Learning.

Our Spring Term topic is....

Rainforests

We will be learning about the rainforests, including what they are, where they can be found and how we can do our bit to protect them. We will also be learning about all the different species of animals that can be found in this climate.

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. 

Year 4 Arithmetic
Below are some arithmetic papers for you to complete. We have included some Year 3 ones, which children could have a go at if they are finding the Year 4 ones too tricky at this moment in time.

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.

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 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:

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.
