Year 4, Classes 3 & 4

Welcome to Year 4 with Mrs Evans, Miss Milliner, Mrs Russell, Mrs Brice and Mrs Stevens.

This term will be full of fun and fantastic activities. We will be studying the wonderful story ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' through watching the films and the book, to learn how to write our own imaginative story. Later in the term, we will be creating a story stack about 'Stroodles' to help us write our own persuasive advertisement about using reusable water bottles.

We will also be learning all about the Romans coming to Britain as well as designing and making our own Roman shoe. As we travel on our learning journey we will learn all about the creators of Rome, Romulus and Remus, and the the battles led by Boudicca when the Romans invaded Britain.

To help us understand what life was like during the Roman times, we will also be taking a visit to the National Roman Legion Museum in Caerleon. We will visit the museum and Roman baths, as well as taking a walk to the amphitheatre and barracks. 

Weekly Homework Tasks

·

• You must read at least 3 times each week to an adult at home. Each time you read, you must get your reading record signed by an adult. Please bring this into school every Monday to be checked. 
• You will be given a weekly times table task to do. Please complete this task, in order to help you to learn the times table facts.

• We to be super spellers! You need to play at least 8 games on  Spelling Shed each week. This will help you to understand the Year 4 spelling patterns as well as practice spelling rules from previous years. Remember Year 4 wants to be at the top of the leader board so everyone needs to lend a hand! 

Year 4 Times Table wizards! 
In Year 4, we have the task of learning all of our times tables up to 12 times. This takes lots of practice. We will help in class but you will need to put a lot of effort in at home so that you know each fact instantly! It’s a challenge but we know you can do it if you try really hard and put the work in. 
As well as using TTRockstars using your school login, here are some websites to help you –
