Spring Term

                                 Our topic for this term is entitled:

Heroes, Shields and Mythical Creatures!

 

Welcome to the Spring Term in Year 4! 

The Autumn was awesome with lots of lovely learning taking place! This term our History focus will be on the Anglo-Saxons; where we will ask the question: How hard was it to invade and settle in Britain?  In Science, we will be learning about 'Classification and Changing Habitats' and 'Sound and Vibrations.' In D&T, we will be building 'Pavilions' for an Anglo-Saxon warrior and in Art, we will be 'Exploring Tones.' We will continue to revise and learn new grammar and punctuation skills (GPS).   In Active Read, we will find out if Varjak Paw fulfils his quest of finding a 'Monster' to save his family and begin reading How to Train you Dragon.  Our writing will also be linked to this and other quality stories taken from our Monty Reads List for Year 4.

 

In Maths, we will continue to Multiply and Divide, learn about Area and being to solve problems involving Fractions and Decimals. Regular practise of times tables on TTRS and our Key Instant Recall Facts is essential for everyone to make the expected progress and be as prepared as possible for the Multiplication Checker in June.

This term our P.E will be every Tuesday and Wednesday.  On these days, please come dressed in your Montgomerie P.E kit with any earrings removed and long hair tied back. Our lessons are Gymnastics and Fundermentals
