 Welcome to the Lion Class page!

Here you will see updates and information about some of our exciting learning this year.

Lion Class - Maths

The children are split into their own year groups and taught based on individual years. We are using White Rose to support and guide deliver our Maths lessons throughout the school.

We are working on children's fluency in Maths. Therefore, each child has a piece of fluency to complete at the start of every day.

Year 4 has their Statutory Multiplication check this year. Children can enjoy practising their timetables on https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/ or on https://talkingtimestables.uk/y4_ks2_mtc_practice_tests_multiplication_tables_check.php 

This term's focus is place value

Lion Class - English

In lion class we use the Write Stuff to teach English and help the children to develop their writing and communication skills.

We currently use Spelling shed  to teach Spelling and Grammar. Children can also access this at home. https://www.spellingshed.com/en-us Each child has their own logging. This website allows children to practice each week's spellings in a fun and engaging way. 

This term's focus is writing and writing a narrative based on The Boy, The Mole, The fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Please share the story at hoe if you know it or ask your child what the plot line is.

Lion Class - Homework

The expectation for each child is to practice their weekly spellings, timetables and read regularly.

Spellings are often printed and stuck into each child's reading record, or they can use EdShed to practice https://www.edshed.com/en-gb. 

Times tables can also be practised on https://ttrockstars.com/ 

All children have their own access and logins to these websites. All login details are stuck in their reading records.

Each chid has been given a book by school to read, but, of course, they can read a book from home, themselves, or they can write in their reading record when and how much they have read.

Lion Class - Guided Reading

In Lion Class we have been developing our reading skills using a range of skills and techniques throughout the week. Focusing on Fluency reading, Extended reading and Close reading. The books we will be exploring this term are Sideways Stories from Wayside School and Roald Dahl - Charlie and the Chocolate factory. 

Useful information 

Term 5 - PE is currently on Monday (OOA) and Wednesday (Netball) so please remember to send the children in their school PE kits and remove earrings. Long hair is also expected to be tied back.
