Hello everyone,
We hope you and your child had a good break and are ready for an exciting Autumn 2 term.
At the start of this term, children will be writing about the Gunpowder Plot in English and will be developing their addition and subtraction skills in maths. In science we will be looking at changing states on matter (water can evaporate or freeze for example) and we will have a Geography focus this term, looking at counties, rivers and the water cycle.
Home learning
The home learning for this week has a short maths and English activity. The activities are deliberately short as I would like as many children as possible to complete their home learning as possible. A link to the home learning sheet can be found here.
We now only have two spelling groups. Those children that were previously in Trinkle will now be in Logan. For this term, spellings will be learnt over two weeks.
Please note Year 4 will continue to go swimming this term.

Shakespeare
From next week, the children will start leaning about our Shakespeare performance. In a few weeks children will be asked to decide what sort of role they would like (main part, medium part or small speaking part). It would be helpful if you could talk to your child about the size roles they may like. They should be aware that for main parts there is an expectation that children will need to practice and learn their lines at home.
As ever if you have have any questions or concerns please get in touch.
Kind regards,
The Year 4 Team
