Hello everyone,

We hope that you are all having a great week so far. The children have had a fantastic start to their Year Four experience. We have really enjoyed learning about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as part of our English learning – it was really fun to learn about The Howler and re-create this scene using drama and role play. Please see photos below.

In Maths, we have been exploring place value and learning about 4 digit numbers. We now understand that 10 x 100 = 1000 and we enjoyed using place value counters and diennes in order to exchange amounts and make 4 digit numbers in different ways. We look forward to having a go at lots of tricky challenge tasks around place value and the manipulation of numbers.

A few quick reminders for next week:

• Your child will receive their first set of home learning tasks on Friday. This includes Maths, Spelling and Vocabulary – please ensure your child returns their home learning activities on Friday 16th September.
• The children have copies of their Times Table Rockstar logins – please ensure that your child logs in regularly to practise these. We recommend the children spend 10 minutes per day on their TT Rockstars.
• PE day will be on Wednesday 14th September 2022 – please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on this date.

We look forward to seeing you all next week,

The Year 4 Team
