TT Rockstars - In 4W we have been working extremely hard on our multiplication tables. The children are enjoying taking part in daily tournaments at school, as well as individual leaderboards. I have noticed a fantastic improvement in each child's recall of multiplication facts. Keep up the hard work 4W!
Please aim to access TT Rockstars at home as much as possible in preparation for our Y4 multiplication test.
Spellings - Spellings are set on spelling shed each week and reset every Sunday ready for the test the following Monday. Your child will have a copy of the spellings for each week in their reading racetracks, or you can download from the files at the bottom of the page.

Today, we have been looking at team building and how it is important to recognise that sometimes we might need help from others. The children have had lots of fun listening to each other's instructions on how to navigate the cup stacking activity, without using their hands!

Welcome back Year 4! I have added your Spring Newsletter to this page so that you can have a look at what we are going to be getting up to this term. You should have all received either a small copy of your spellings that will be in the back of your reading racetrack books or have taken a larger copy home for your grown ups. I have also put a link to that document on here as well so that you can check them each week if you like. The ones that are highlighted in yellow are scheduled to be on Spelling Shed during a holiday. This means that you will have extra time to learn these spelling before you come back to school.

This week, we have been exploring different structural shapes to build a variety of bridges. We decided a Truss bridge would be a good place to start as we could make triangular shapes to help spread the weight of the bridge equally, thus making it stronger.
Then, the children were challenged to be an engineer and build their own bridges using only TWO items...
Spaghetti and Marshmallows!
