Maths
In maths, we will recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds, recognise and write decimal equivalents to , , , find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths, round decimals with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number, compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places, solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places. This year, Year 4s will take part in the compulsory Times Tables Check. Children will answer 25 questions, with only 6 seconds to answer each question. How can you help at home? Please ensure that you regularly practise and test your child on their times tables. At the end of Year 4, children should know the all times tables up to 12x12. It is always useful to practise the times tables as this really helps children with a range of mathematics work in school. If you have access to the internet, please visit the following sites to support your child's learning at home.

English In English, we will continue to work towards our Shakespeare performance of The Tempest: by reading the play, engaging in drama activities and using our knowledge of the text to produce diary entries, poetry and suspense writing. How you can help your child? Encourage your child to read their reading book and ask them questions about the text which they are reading. It is important to read a variety of texts with your child. This can be anything from their reading books to newspapers and leaflets. This will help to extend your child’s vocabulary and their understanding of different text types, which will in turn help to improve their writing.

Science
As scientists, we will compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases, observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius (°C) and identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature.
How you can help your child? Carry out simple investigations to explore how solids can be turned into liquids and vice versa. Observe what happens to a liquid when heated . What process is this called? Is it reversible?

History - Anglo Saxons
As historians, we will address and devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference and significance, note connections, contrasts and trends over time and develop the appropriate use of historical terms, use a wider range of sources as a basis for research to answer questions and to test hypotheses and recognise how sources of evidence are used to make historical claims.
How you can help your child? Explore the push and pull factors which led to the Anglo Saxon invasions. Research where the early Anglo Saxons lived and explore which religion the Anglo Saxons followed and how this changed over time. |
