As part of our Literacy work we have started to read the Chronicles of Narnia - the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. We have been looking at the key features of descriptive writing with a view to writing our own character descriptions and descriptions of settings. The children will soon be learning about fronted adverbials and how to use them to make their writing more interesting.

| We are currently looking at written methods for multiplication and division. We are then beginning to look at fractions before the Christmas break. In Year 4, the children are required to sit a times tables check in the summer term. The purpose of this check: 'is to determine whether pupils can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help your child’s school to identify pupils who may need additional support.' Below is a link to information provided by the testing standards agency about the check. Parent information about the time table check.
At Weston Point, we encourage the children to access TTrockstars as frequently as possible. It provides an interactive platform where the children can improve their accuracy and speed when reaclling their times tables.
