Welcome to Class Four

Summer 1 2021-22

We hope that you had a great Easter break, and are now fully recharged and ready for all the learning and fun this half term.

Our English, as usual, will be based around a range of fantastic books and I will give details of these as we go along...don't want to give too much away!

In Maths this half term will be focussing on; Place value and decimals, Multiplication and division, Area and perimeter, 2D and 3D shapes and fractions and decimals. There will also be a big focus on times tables as we begin our practise for the upcoming statutory Multiplication Tables Checker (MTC) at the end of May.

We will have a Geography focus this half term looking at the question: Why are jungles so wet and deserts so dry? Throughout the enquiry, the children will be encouraged to reflect upon how climate has such an important influence upon landscapes, plants, animals and human activity on Earth – they investigate this relationship at a number of scales. This will enable them to better understand the relationship between climate and living things and also to introduce them to the concept of biomes.

In Science, we will be continuing to look at Living things in their Habitats and our topic this half term will be 'Help our Habitats'. We will be looking at how environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things. Can we do anything about it?

• Please see the Homework timetable below for when homework is set and when it is due in. In addition to previous terms, there will also be a times tables booklet sent home.
