Guided Reading
In Guided Reading we will be focussing on the text, 'The Valley of the Lost Secrets'. Here is a brief synopsis, Jimmy is evacuated to a small village in Wales, which couldn't be more different from London. Green, quiet and full of strangers, he instantly feels out of place. Finding an ally in someone he never expects, they set out together to uncover the secrets that lie within the valley. What they discover will change Jimmy - and the village - forever.
English
Some of our English lessons will be linked to our topic of 'East Midlands Airport' this half term. We will be writing a formal letter to the airport to discuss our views of the work they are doing. We will be using our knowledge of letter writing and using formal vocabulary to elevate our letters. We will then be using our guided reading book to create a historical setting by choosing a setting in the book as inspiration for us to create our own magnificent setting. We will be using extraordinary vocabulary and our aim is to make us feel like we are there ourselves! I am always so blown away by their imaginations! I can't wait to read these.
Maths
In Maths, we will be continuing to develop our understanding of fractions in which children will compare and order fractions, find equivalent fractions and begin to add and subtract proper fractions. Year 3 will then move onto mass and capacity in which they will be looking at different measurements of mass and capacity, comparing mass and capacity, adding and subtracting mass and capacity. Year 4 will be moving onto decimals in which they will be exploring tenths, hundreds and dividing 1 digit and 2 digit numbers by 10 to calculate decimals.

Times Tables
Please remember also to practise your times tables- We aim to have GOLD in all times tables by the end of Year 4 in Erewash Class.
Remember:-
Bronze means you can say the whole table in order- eg "one times two is two, two times two is four....." fluently.
Silver means you can say the answer to any sum from the times table eg "what's 4 x 5? What's 8 X 5 ?
Gold means you can say the reverse division fact- eg in five times table, what's 20 divided by 5? how many fives in 15?
Things to remember!
Reminders!
