Guided Reading
In Guided Reading we will be focussing on the text, ‘Tilly and the time Machine’ by Adrian Edmondson. Tilly lives with her scientist father, who has invented a secret time machine. When the machine is accidentally activated, Tilly is thrown back into the past to the time of the dinosaurs. Separated from her dad and unsure how to get home, Tilly must use her bravery, quick thinking and problem-solving skills to survive in a dangerous prehistoric world. Along the way, she learns about friendship, courage and believing in herself as she tries to find a way back to her own time. I am sure the children will love this story and we will have some brilliant class and group discussions.
English
In English, we will also be linking in with our History unit. We will be creating a set of instructions on how to mummify a tomato! This is always a fantastic unit of work with so much information to discover. We will also be creating adventure stories based in the Ancient Egyptian times. We will draw some inspiration from the wonderful story 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx'.
Maths
In Maths, we will be deepening our knowledge of multiplication and division, area and length and perimeter.

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!
Don't forget to ask an adult to sign your organiser and hear you read out loud at least four times a week at home!
