Times Tables

All children in year 4 will be required to take the new Multiplication Check in the Summer Term, so we are having a huge push on learning times tables over the year. We have times table practise books which are kept in school as well as different apps we subscribe to, as a school, where the children can practise their times tables in a fun way.

Times table Rock stars

We have a subscription to TT Rock stars which the children absolutely love! They can play on 'garage', 'studio' and complete 'soundchecks' which follow the layout of the multiplication check in Summer. We have regular 'battles' within school between different classes and the winning class is rewarded with different activities.

 

These apps help the children to learn and consolidate their tables; plus, they can compete with their classmates and other schools!

What we've been doing!

Lots of lovely book character costumes/pyjamas for world book day! 

Spring 2: 

In maths we have been looking at measuring length, adding and subtracting length, comparing length and calculating perimeter. 

We have been conducting experiments with magnets in science, learning how force works and what types of metals are magnetic. 

In English we have been looking at explanation texts with a strong link to Geography. Our question is 'How is a scorpion able to survive in a desert biome?'. We have done lots of research and are planning to answer this question in an explanation text format. 

In PE we have been lucky enough to have Castleford Tigers in to teach us lots of rugby skills. We have also done a dance based on building Stonehenge, the children worked in groups to move with the beat. 

 

 

 

Spring 1:

In maths we have been learning how to multiply 2 and 3-digit numbers to 1 number. We have used practical resources to support our working out. 

We have completed a soil experiment in science and took 3 samples from the school grounds; in the woodland, under a tree and not under a tree (field). We have poured water on the samples and watched as the layers appeared over a week. 

We have been learning all about the Stone Age, looking at how they lived and the tools they made. Our art work with cave drawings is also influenced by the Stone Age, we are collecting natural materials to make our own paint and cave drawings.
