Welcome to Year 4's Class Page!

Our topic this half term has a Place and Time theme of 'The Industrial Revolution'.

We will be looking at what the Industrial Revolution was, how people's lives changed during this time and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Our Stunning Starter Day will involve a workshop provided by the museum and our Fabulous Finish will be a Victorian Day in school.

Communication, Language and Literacy

This half term, children will study the book, 'Street Child'. We will be writing a narrative about Jim's Escape to share with parents. 

Maths

In Maths, our first focus will be Multiplication and Division, where we are continuing to focus on dividing a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number and a 3 digit-number by a 1 digit number.. Our second focus will be Length and Perimeter, where we will focus on calculating the perimeter of rectilinear shapes. We will also continue to build our fluency in our times tables, completing our times table tests twice a day. We ask that you support us with this by continuing to practise times tables at home.
