Literacy
Cold Write- I can write an auto-biography.
Today, can children write about their lives up til now. We will be learning about biographies in this next genre and this will be our introduction to it. In school, we give minimal help on a cold task. This will show us how they write now and what we need to improve on. Some help may be given by writing some ideas (words not sentences) down so they can get started but try and leave them to it and see what they produce.
Welcome back everyone!
I am super excited to get into a new year and cant wait to hear about your summer holidays. I look forward to working together as a class 4 bubble, where we can all help one another through this unusual time. Our topic this year is 'Space' please see topic web below. We are also going to be doing a history project on romans after half term.

Sir Ernest Shackleton.
Class 4 have been learning about Sir Ernest Shackleton. During this unit, we have worked on using emotive language and powerful vocabulary to create a diary entry of parts of his amazing journey. Check out the display outside class 4!
I've been doing research on Victorian chemistry and elements and found a website called Victorian era chemistry. It has good information on Victorian chemists and a diagram of atoms.

My Maths homework will be set each week. If you forget your login details or have any questions, please speak to Mrs Whelan.
Maths Olympics has been introduced in Class 4 to help children to develop fast recall of their times and divide tables up to 12 x 12 and other key number facts.
Each week, the children will be tested against the clock on the number fact or times table they are working on. Once they can recall all the facts correctly in one minute, they will earn a gold certificate and move onto the next challenge.
So that you and your child know what to practise at home, the children will complete their own achievement sheets each week – a copy of this can be found below. These will then be kept in their homework folders and I will also keep a record in school. I am sure the children will enjoy bringing their certificates home to show you.
Many thanks for your continued support; together we can make this a really rewarding activity.
This year, we are using spelling lists from the website Shakespeare and More. The children choose up to 12 spellings to learn and only move onto the next list when they show they can spell their words in their writing.
Use these ideas to learn your spellings
Spell the word out loud
Make a wordsearch
Play hangman
Anagrams (muddle up the order of the letters and work out the word
Mnemonic (make a saying or rhyme that helps you to remember tricky words or spelling patterns e.g. I Get Hot Toes - IGHT
Play the dice game
Throw a 1 = write the word in capital letters, Throw a 2 = write the word with your eyes closed, Throw a 3 =type the word, Throw a 4= Bubble write and colour it in, Throw a 5= Write the word on someone’s back, in the air or on sand (when you go to the beach!), Throw a 6 = write the word out 5 times in joined writing
When we were learning about the Mayans, we cooked tortillas and made guacamole. I thought it would be a good idea to do some Ugandan cooking for our Commonwealth topic. You can read all about it on our Spotlight On display board.

We found this really cool website, which shows you the populations of the world. You can have one country in particular or the world. It shows you how many births and deaths there have been this year and today.

We use different sources to find out information in history. We annotated contemporary sketches of the Frost Fairs in groups and then used our reading Thought Bubbles to jot down our own ideas.
