Class 5
Our amazing trip to Sandwell Valley RSPB
Class 5 have been learning about Living things and their habitats in Science.
We embarked on an exhilarating trip to Sandwell Valley RSPB, where we delved into the fascinating world of different habitats! We began our adventure in the enchanting woodlands, marveling at the towering trees and listening to the cheerful songs of birds. Next, we wandered through vibrant meadows, spotting colourful butterflies fluttering about. The highlight of our day was pond dipping, where we discovered intriguing creatures such as slimy newts and tiny tadpoles in the sparkling water. Each moment brimmed with excitement as we learned how these habitats support the incredible wildlife around us. It truly was a day to remember!

Multiplication Table Check
One of the primary focuses for Year 4 this year is preparing for the Multiplication Check scheduled for July. Understanding the significance of this assessment, we will work diligently throughout the year to ensure that students have a solid grasp of their times tables.
To support our efforts, parents are encouraged to engage with their children in practicing their multiplication facts at home. In our classroom, we will implement a weekly focus on a specific times table, utilizing spare moments during our day. This targeted practice will reinforce memorization, boost confidence, and ensure a firm understanding of multiplication concepts.
A fun way to learn multiplication facts through fun songs!
