Year 4
Spring Term 2020
Firstly, welcome back and we wish you all a very Happy New Year.
Our topics this term are 'Ancient Maya' and 'Energy and the Environment'.
Spellings will continue to be set and tested on Mondays.
Please remember the reading challenge in 4MH, where we ask you to sign the homework diary when you have heard your child read or discussed their book. We check this every Monday.
Outdoor P.E will now be on a Monday, instead of swimming. Please ensure your child has the correct outdoor kit for the colder weather.
Indoor P.E will continue on a Tuesday.
Health & Safety reminder: No jewellery to be worn during PE lessons, however if earrings can’t be removed, then they need taping over.
We are working towards our Year 4 Times Table national test next term, so please continue to practice all the times tables with your child and make use of 'Times Table Rock Stars' and 'My Maths'.

The Gutter Game challenge
Year 4's first trip. On the 5th of September we all walked along the River Jordan and then the River Welland. This was to help understanding in our Rivers and Canals topic.
Year 4's second trip was to the Canal Basin in Harborough. Here we discussed why and how canals were built and compared them to rivers.
Our next trip was to Foxton Locks where we looked at boating families in the past, habitats on the waterways, Foxton Locks over the years and we got to see how the locks work!
