Our Learning
This half term we will be starting with the topic 'Brainwaves'. In this unit we will be learning about meta-cognition and finding out more about how our brain and memory work to help us learn. After this we will move on to 'Temples, Tombs and Treasures' where we will learn all about the people who created the first civilisations and how they were very different to how we live today!
English
In English, we will be focusing on the following genres of writing:
| · Poetry
· Persuasive writing (adverts) · First person diary entries |
Maths
In Maths, we will be starting Year 4 learning about place value. During this unit, we will be looking at partitioning numbers, roman numerals and rounding.
Supporting your child with their learning at home
Reading
Reading should be completed a minimum of 3x a week, but ideally for 10 minutes each evening. This should be completed with an adult, and children can choose to read their own book, a book from school or on bug club. Adults need to record the reading session in the reading record, alongside a sentence or two about how the read and anything they found tricky. Reading records must be in school every day.
Homework books
Homework books are sent home on a Friday and must be returned to school on a Wednesday. Weekly homework includes:
Maths
A short maths challenge linking to the week’s learning. There will be 3 different challenges that your child can choose to complete depending on how confident they felt with that concept in class. Children should also log into TTRS (https://ttrockstars.com) and practise their multiplication recall.
Spellings
Children will have 10 spellings sent home linking to a spelling pattern being taught in class. These will be tested in the spelling session on a Wednesday morning.
IPC
At the bottom of the homework will be some questions linking to the topics being taught in class. Please ask your children these questions and get them talking about all the incredible learning that is taking place in classrooms! This is a great chance for children to share all of their amazing knowledge.
PE
PE days are as follows for Autumn 1:
4W- Tuesday and Friday
4AP- Tuesday
4P- Tuesday
4S- Wednesday
As we move into Winter, please ensure that children wear their winter PE kits (jogging bottoms, Red Hill PE top, school jumper and trainers). Please also make sure children bring a warm, waterproof coat with a hood.
