Welcome to our class page!
In Term 2, our Geography enquiry question is:
How and why is the local area changing?
In this unit, we will start by looking at why places change exploring both natural and human reasons. We will investigate changes and issues occurring in our local area before deciding on one local issue to investigate. We will decide what data we need to collect, undertake fieldwork in Ninfield, interpret our findings and present our data.
Here is this term's topic map:
For anyone who was unable to make our 'Meet the Teacher' meeting in September, please find the slides below.
Maths
Keep practising your times tables using TTRS. You need to be able to quickly recall your facts up to 12 x 12 and their corresponding division facts.
Year 4 children will need to complete the Multiplication Tables Check so regularly practicing 'Soundcheck' on TTRS will really help you!
Reading
It's really important to read everyday to develop fluency and intonation. Please remember to record your daily reading in your reading diary - if you complete 5 reads in a row you get to have afternoon tea with Mr Getty!
