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 'Roman Britain'. Children will be creating their own myth using inspiration from Roman myths and legends. I am sure the children will use their fantastic creativity and imaginations to create some amazing mythical creatures and tales to tell. I can't wait to see what ideas they have! We will also be creating an information text to inform people all about Ancient Rome and the Ancient Romans. I am always so impressed with the children's writing in information texts. I am sure there two page spreads will be incredible!
Maths
In Maths, we will be exploring and developing our understanding in money, time, shape and statistics. Children will be developing key skills in money through converting pounds and pence, as well as adding and subtracting money. Children will be telling the time on analogue and digital clocks, developing their understanding of hours and minutes on a clock. They will also be applying their knowledge of time to solve word problems. In our shape unit of work, we will be looking at different types of shapes, including triangles, quadrilaterals and polygons. As well as looking at different angles and symmetry. To end the year, we will be looking at statistics to develop our understanding or interpreting charts, such as pictograms and reading information from line graphs. It will be a jam packed half term in maths with lots to learn!

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 three times a week at home!
