Anning Class
Welcome to Anning class! Here you will find important information about our class.
I hope everyone has had a great break, the weather has been amazing, and I'm sure that everyone is refreshed and ready to come back to school after a long six weeks!
Information about our class will be updated here as we move through the year, so please check in here for the latest information as well as to have a look at our class photos tab.
At the bottom of this page you will find links to this term's homework grid, as well as flyers for the current competitions being run by the Rotary Club. Please encourage your child to take part.
Homework will be exhibited in our 'Homework Gallery' every term and the children will have a chance to earn stars for their ladders as well as house points!
Our topic this term
This term's topic is Bustling Bourton, where we will be covering lots of areas of the curriculum. In history we will be comparing the settlement of Bourton now to the past, using maps and photographic sources of evidence. We will be using map work to study economic activity in Bourton, as well as field work to understand how trade and tourism impacts Bourton. Using our computing skills, we plan to record short documentaries about Bourton using greenscreens.
Maths
In maths this term, we will focus on place value of numbers up to 1 million and beyond, including numbers with up to 3 decimal places and negative numbers in Year 5. Year 4 will also be looking at place value in numbers with up to 4 digits, numbers to 2 decimal places and also with negative numbers.
English
In writing, we will be developing our writing skills through writing persuasive leaflets. Our focus will be sentence structure, types of conjunctions and persuasive and emotive language. These leaflets will also link with our Bustling Bourton topic and will be a great opportunity for the children to show their creativity.
Important Class Information:
PE Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit.
Reading Books: reading books will be changed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Homework: A homework grid for this term is attached below.
Reading: Please continue to listen to your child read daily, even for 10 minutes, and encourage them to complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly.
Times Tables: It is important all pupils are learning (and continue to practise) the timetables up to the 12 times table. These should be known by the end of year 4 but it is essential that the children continue to practice and recall these facts.
Regular practise on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) helps pupils to retain knowledge and helps them to utilise these facts in other mathematical learning. Please encourage your child to log in regularly - even if only for a few minutes each time.
