Guided Reading
In Guided Reading we will be focussing on the text, ‘The Boy with the Bronze Axe’ by Kathleen Fidler. The story is set in the Stone Age village of Skara Brae and follows twins Kali and Brockan, whose lives change when they meet Karn, a boy with a powerful bronze axe. Together, they face challenges, discover new ideas, and learn the importance of courage and friendship. 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 using our creativity to write a narrative about the Stone Age. We will be using the text Stone Age Boy for inspiration for our narratives. We will then be exploring and writing information texts about what life was like in the Stone Age times. I can't wait to read all of the wonderful writing this half term!
Maths
In Maths, we will be deepening our knowledge of place value and addition and subtraction this half term. Children will be reading different numbers on place value charts, creating numbers with base 10 and counters and adding and subtracting numbers with different place values. Later in the half term, we will be estimating and rounding numbers too!
Recommended Reads
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!
