Year Four

Welcome to Year 4

Our class page!

Welcome back!

I hope you have all had a fantastic and restful holiday, and are ready for an exciting, jam packed half term! We have lots of exciting new topics to learn as well as continuing our times table journey into becoming Rock Hero’s!

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.  Don’t forget our weekly Times Tables Rock Star competitions, certificates and prizes up for grabs.

Have a look around our class page and see what we will be getting up to! Don’t forget to check the class Dojo page for regular updates!

Roman Britain

How did the Romans influence Britain?

We are continuing our theme of the Romans, but this half term we are looking at Roman Britain and the legacy that they left behind.  We will look at what life was like in Roman Britain, including the forts, roads and bathhouses that they built. We will finally look at what the Romans left behind, what words and numbers we still use today, and how archeological finds can help improve our knowledge of what Roman Britain was really like.
