Trevithick Class Y4

Welcome to Trevithick class!
 
Our class is a team - we are innovators, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century!
 
Our class is named after Richard Trevithick, who was a true innovator and invented the first steam engine. He pioneered the use of 'strong steam' which revolutionised mining in Cornwall. During our time in Year 4 we will be studying his influence on mining in our local history topic, our residential which includes visiting some Cornish mines and when we celebrate St Pirans day.

KEY CLASS INFORMATION
 
Autumn Term 1
Our new project is focussing on electricity and our enquiry question is 'How does electricity work?'
Here is an overview of our planned learning for this term:

Key Information

English

In English, children will undertake a grammar unit. The children will also create a non-fiction explanation text linked to their learning in Science. 

Maths 

In Maths, we will focus on number and place value to 10,000.

In our number fact sessions we will focus on our knowledge of the multiplication facts up to 12 X 12.  

PE 

Our PE days will be on Monday and  Thursday. We would like children to bring their PE kit in, ready to change at school. 

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.  Optional homework activities can be found in the grid below.
