Term 2 Week 2 – overview

We will have our usual ukulele lesson with Mr Lawrence on Monday.

On Tuesday, we have our trip to Tablehurst Farm.  We are really looking forward to learning how this biodynamic farm works and meet Peter the farmer, along with turkeys, chicks, pigs and dairy and beef cattle.

Our spelling words this week all have the suffix ‘ssion’.  Our handwriting session will focus on correctly forming the letter j.

In English, we are continuing our work based around Roman gods and goddesses.  We will be working in pairs to edit our writing and make improvements to sentence structure, language and punctuation.

In Maths, we will be continuing our unit on addition and subtraction.  We will be subtracting 4-digit numbers with more than one exchange, efficient subtraction and estimating calculations. We will also be practising times tables.  Our target in Year 4 is to be secure in all times tables up to 12s, and we take the Multiplication Table Check in the summer term.

In RE, we will be continuing our unit on Incarnation.  We will be tackling text from John 1, to explore this explanation of the incarnation.

In Science, we are going to be completing our unit on states of matter with an end of unit assessment.

PE will take place on Monday and Wednesday afternoons with Mr Goodyer.  Please ensure that your child has a named PE kit in school all week.

Reading records will be coming home this week.  We would like pupils to bring them in on Tuesday and Friday each week.  If your child is reading books from the reading scheme, these will be changed for them.  If your child is a free-reader, they will be responsible for changing their book.
