Welcome to the Advent Term. I hope you all had a wonderful summer and a well deserved break. It’s great to be back in school and delve into our curriculum.

Please familiarise yourself with our timetable and read the UKS2 newsletter for information. There are also lots of other bits and bobs for you too, if you keep scrolling.

This is the class email address to email me with any questions or important information. I will be unable to reply within the school day but will do so within 48 hours (except for weekends and holidays)

Also, if you haven’t already, I would recommend that you join St.George’s Facebook and Twitter pages as these always have lots of up to date information too.

Knowledge Organisers

These are full of useful information to help with homework and for extra revisits of learning. We use them in school and are a handy aid for children to retrieve relevant facts to help them understand a topic.

RE – Vocation and Commitment

Geography

Science

History

Sticky Knowledge

This is information (questions and answers) that the children will have been taught in Humanities and science lessons and revisited throughout the year. They will be tested on it in July 2024.

WRITING

We use Talk 4 Writing to deliver our English teaching. It is an interactive and scaffolded approach to English which is having great results in school. For more info see the Curriculum page for English (also on the school website!).

MATHS

Knowing your times tables is really important as they effect so much of the curriculum. By the end of Year 4, you should know them all up to 12 x 12 automatically without counting. It is important to keep practising these times tables so you don’t forget them and TTRockstars is a great tool for this! Even 5 minutes a day will help you so much with your maths!

Please use the website below to revisit any spelling rules and practise just like it is set out in class. There is also some extra resources for maths and reading. Take a look!

In maths we are using the column methods for the four operations. Here are some examples:

Addition:

Always line the digits up using place value

Don’t forget to add the carry overs

Always write the addition symbol so that you don’t forget your calculation

Subtraction:

Always line the digits up using place value

Always write the subtraction symbol

If you cannot take one number from the other, borrow one from the next column.

Multiplication:

Always line the digits up using place value

Always ADD the carried numbers

When you are multiplying by 2d number, always put the place holder ‘0’ to help you multiply by the tens digit.

If you are multiplying by 3d number , always put two place holder ‘0’s to help you multiply by 100.

Division:

If there is a remainder, carry it over to the next column

Use your times table facts to help you divide each digit

Long Division:

Long division works by dealing with the largest column 1st – in the case below the 8 (800).

How many times does 4 go into 8? … from the 4 times table ..2 x 4 = 8. Write the 2 above the 8 and the result, 8, is written below the 8.

Work out the remainder by subtracting 8 from 8, 8-8=0 Now bring the 5 down to make 05 the next number to divide into.

How many times does 4 go into 5? … from the 4 times table ..1 x 4 = 4. Write the 1 above the 5 and the result, 4, is written below the 5.

Work out the remainder by subtracting 4 from 5, 5-4=1 Now bring the 6 down to make 16 the next number to divide into.

How many times does 4 go into 16? … from the 4 times table ..4 x 4 = 16. Write the 4 above the 6 and the result, 16, is written below the 16.

Finally, subtract 16 from 16, 16-16=0, which means that there is no remainder.

The answer is 214 with no remainder.
