In maths this half term, we will recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (1,000s, 100s, 10s, and 1s, order and compare numbers beyond 1,000, identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representation, round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000, solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers and read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value
This year, Year 4s will take part in the compulsory Times Tables Check. Children will answer 25 questions, with only 6 seconds to answer each question. How can you help at home? Please ensure that you regularly practise and test your child on their times tables. At the end of Year 4, children should know the all times tables up to 12x12. It is always useful to practise the times tables as this really helps children with a range of mathematics work in school. If you have access to the internet, please visit the following sites to support your child's learning at home.

English
In English, we will be writing free verse poetry based on our family trees and writing a narrative based on the story ‘Gorilla’ by Anthony Browne
How you can help your child? Encourage your child to read their reading book and ask them questions about the text which they are reading. It is important to read a variety of texts with your child. This can be anything from their reading books to newspapers and leaflets. This will help to extend your child’s vocabulary and their understanding of different text types, which will in turn help to improve their writing.
