Welcome to Year 4C's class page 2025/2026
As school is closed today you can have a go at these learning tasks and bring any work you do with you when you come back to school. You can also read your reading book and have a go on Times Table Rockstars.
Wednesday 7th January Tasks
English
n English, we will be looking at the picture book, 'Escape from Pompeii'. So far, we have studied the front cover, made predictions and created noun phrases. Today, I would like you to write a list of questions that you have for each of the characters on the front cover. Remember, create open questions and not closed. Open questions need longer answers rather than yes or no. REMEMBER TO START YOUR QUESTIONS WITH A CAPITAL LETTER AND END WITH A QUESTION MARK.
Maths
For maths, we would like you to practise your times tables. Log on to Times Tables Rockstars. We would like you to complete your heat map so that it is up-to-date and you know which facts you need to learn. If you are unable to log on, you can write down the facts in your book or any paper you have.
Tuesday 6th January Tasks
English
In class, we have just started our new class read, 'Escape from Pompeii, and made predictions using the front cover. Later in the week, we will be creating sentences using expanded noun phrases. Have a look again at the picture a little more closely and write down what you see. To create an expanded noun phrase, add one ore more adjectives to the noun and add further detail using a prepostion. (We have done lots of work in other English Units on this). An example: a great, looming volcano on the edge of the city. You could even add adjectives to the second noun like the Alan Peat 2AD sentences (adjective, adjective noun, adjective, adjective noun.) Eg a great, looming volcano at the edge of the beautiful, bustling city. We would be interested to see who can collect the most nounn phrases and who has the most interesting.
Maths
In Maths we have have been looking at factor pairs (factor X factor = product - eg 2 X 3 = 6). If you are unable to print the sheet, you can write and draw the answers in your homework book or on any paper you have. (a PDF version is in the document files below)
Staff
The teachers in our class are Mrs Cottam, Miss Kay, Mrs Berry and Mrs Buksh.
PE days
Our PE days in 4C are on Wednesday and Thursday.
Reading
Please bring your reading book to school every day so we can read with you.
Please read a few pages at home every day and ask an adult to sign your reading record
Homework
Homework is handed out on a Friday afternoon. Children are encouraged to complete this as soon as possible and try to hand in before Wednesday but Friday at the latest.
Five Reads
Each half term, each year group has 5 new picture books to read daily during story time. These picture books are age appropriate and often link to the current learning for each year group. This ensures the children are exposed to a wide range of genres and authors across the year and develop confidence in knowing a variety of stories in greater depth. These ‘5 reads’ books are further celebrated in a half termly assembly to share the cohort’s favourite book of the half term and to receive their new ‘5 reads’.
