We have also introduced a brand new home learning scheme called

"Reading on your head"

Each week a new homework will be set based on the class text (This term, "King of the Cloud Forest" by Michael Morpurgo) and this will run from Thursday Evening to Monday Morning.

 

Children have their own personal log-in (In the front of their Diaries) and can access the website at the link below.

What is the Year 4 Times Tables Test

The Multiplication Tables Check is a newly introduced annual check on the times tables knowledge of Year 4s in England and Wales.


 

 

As well as consistent multiplication tables practice within school, year 4 pupils can practise at home using the following link.

 

Multiplication Tables Check - 2022 - Timestables.co.uk

Have fun ! 

TOP TIP : You can practise on any device BUT it might be useful to use a keyboard, as we will be administering the test using one.

Don't forget, you can practise your times tables using Times Tables Rockstars

Over the holiday, Lydia Ball visited the railway museum in York.

 

Lydia's great great granddad was a blacksmith at doncaster around this time so could have been involved in making the top engine of which we see the badge.

This week in Science we explored how the digestive system worked.

Some children wanted to attempt the experiment shown in class at home, so to the right is the link to the Digestive Experiment video.

If children wish to film the experiment, you can send it to me at year4@richmond.doncaster.sch.uk and I will post it here on our webpage.

Year 4 had a great time becoming meteorite hunters in a special science lesson where they were able to look at very rare rocks which were billions of years old, kindly lent to the school by the Science and Technologies Facilities Council.

They learned the difference between Asteroids (Made of rock, dust and metal and mostly found between Mars and Venus) and Meteoroids ( Usually found beyond Mars towards the Sun.)

Their task was to examine different rocks and decide if they were Meteorites (Bits of Meteoroids which had survived passing through the Earth's atmosphere and crashing to the planet's surface.) 

A fun and very educational lesson!
