Year Four

Welcome to Year 4

Our class page!

We are delighted to introduce the new Y4 class page!  We are going to have an exciting and incredible year and I cannot wait to see what we are going to achieve!

Teacher: Mrs. Brocklehurst

Teaching Assistants: Mrs. Goodfellow and Miss Wilson

Times Tables

In Y4 we are preparing for our times table check in June. We will be learning, practicing and perfecting our times tables all the way to 12.  Can you answer a multiplication question in under 6 seconds? In Y4 we can!

Practicing times tables at home is a great way to help secure the knowledge learnt at school and also improve speed.  Effective ways can be to chant multiplications together or even ask quick fire questions.

Useful websites for children to practice their times tables:

Topic

In Topic this term, we are going to be Geographers!

We are going to look at the question ‘What is the land like in the United Kingdom and how do we use it?’ During this topic, we are going on a journey to understand the physical landscape and surrounding seas and ocean of the UK.  We will look at how land in the UK is used from rural areas to urban cities, understanding key factors as to why people have settled there.
