4FR

Class teacher: Mrs Richards 

Teaching assistants: Miss Marshall and Mrs Bartley

 

Below is some key information that you might find useful:

 

English 

This term, we are reading various books such as The Jabberwocky, Baker by the Sea and The Ever-Changing Earth. We will look at character descriptions, recount writing, and letter writing whilst including punctuation and grammatical features appropriate for Year 4. The children will have opportunities to draft and write by: composing and rehearsing sentences orally (including dialogue), progressively building a varied and rich vocabulary and an increasing range of sentence structures.

 

Maths 

In maths this term, we are focusing on geometry. 

  • compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes
  • identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to 2 right angles by size
  • identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations
  • complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry

 

Science

This term in science, we will focus on living creatures and their habitats. We will:

  • recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways
  • explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment
  • recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things

 

PE

4FR have their PE lessons each Wednesday and Thursday. Therefore, the children will need to come into school wearing their PE kit on those days and will remain in them for the rest of the day.
 

Homework

Homework is given out each Friday. The children will have a piece of work in their homework book which supports their learning in school. They will also have their weekly spellings to practise as well as a times tables sheet. Homework is to be returned on Wednesdays. 

The children have their times table tests every Wednesday and their spelling test every Thursday.

 

Home Reading

We encourage children to read at least 4 times a week at home. In 4FR, for every 4 home reads, the children get a raffle ticket. The ticket goes in to our raffle for the chance to win our hamper. Raffles are each half term. 

 

Times tables

By the end of year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12x12. We practise times tables as often as we can in school. The children are expected to practise their times tables each week at home as part of their homework. 

 

 

Here are some of the ways they could be practised at home:
