Brunel Class Y4

Welcome to Brunel class!
 
Our class is a team - we are innovators, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century!
Our class is named after Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Brunel is remembered his pioneering work in the design and construction of the Thames Tunnel. From a young age, Isambard had a talent for engineering and mathematics. Encouraged by his father, he learnt how to depict model drawings of buildings. He was a STEAM innovator and we continue to learn more about his achievements during year 4. 
Mrs Baxter

Class Teacher

Hi, I am Mrs Baxter and I will be the class teacher for Bouman Class for the start of the year before I start my maternity leave.Year 4 has got lots of exciting trips, visitors, projects and WOW moments. Youhave such an exciting curriculum to look forward to and lots of shared learning, outside activities, clubs and trips in store!
 
Over the last few years, I have discovered a love of paddle boarding and bouldering but I’m definitely still in need of some practice! I enjoy being active and creative; I especially love baking sweet treats to share with others! When I’m not in school I spend my time at the beach with my two dogs, Max and Milo. They love catching a frisbee and swimming in the sea!

KEY CLASS INFORMATION
 
Spring Term 2
Our new project is focussing on Romans and our enquiry question is 'How easy was it keeping control of a massive empire?'
Here is an overview of our planned learning for this term:

Key Information

English

In English, children will study ‘Empires End’, innovating the text to create their own character description. The children will also create a discussion piece linked to their learning on the Romans.  

Maths 

We will continue to develop methods to solve problems with fractions before moving on to a new unit on decimals.

 PE 

Our PE days will be on Monday and  Wednesday. We would like children to come into school wearing their kit in order to be ready for the sessions promptly. 

 Reading and Handwriting 

We devote time daily to independent reading and handwriting, as these are vitally important skills which help us across all curriculum areas. Children need to read on a daily basis at home and at school in order to make the most progress. 

Homework 

Each week, there will be spellings to learn using Spelling Shed. Daily reading and regular practise of times tables using Times Table Rockstars is also part of our homework expectation. There is also a weekly times tables quiz which happens on a Friday alongside our weekly spelling tests.
