Our Current Topic is 

1066

We’re travelling back to 1066, probably the most famous date in English history. These are troubled times and there is danger afoot. A much loved king is dead and a French Duke has staked a claim for our kingdom. Discover a changing England, shaped by shires, protected by castles and ruled by foreign knights. Use the famous Bayeux Tapestry to explore the significant events of 1066. What happened when, and how did William of Normandy come to be called the Conqueror? Design a castle with defences strong enough to hold back the enemy. What about a space for fine dining and revelry? Try and build a happy (but safe) home. You’re the architect. Are you ready for the Norman invasion? Then don your armour and watch your back.

Our Art Topic is 

1066

This is linked to our History and Geography topic. We will be looking closely at the Bayeux Tapestry and creating our own section of it using different media.

Homework 

The main focus of our homework this year is Reading. Year 4 children should be reading for 20 mins, 5 x a week as per our homework policy. 

Reading completed at home should be recorded on Boom Reader. If you are having trouble accessing this, then please see your child's class teacher. 

As Year 4 children will be completing a multiplication test this year, it is also important that they are practising their times tables. This can be done using the links below:
