Autumn Term
Juniper Class Autumn Newsletter
This term, the children were learning about how children's lives have changed throughout history, focusing on the Tudor and Victorian times, and comparing this with their lives today. We visited the British Schools Museum in Hitchin to find out more about this. The children experienced a strict Victorian school lesson, visited the original Headmaster's house, and took part in a Victorian drill (like a PE lesson).
Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check
- In June, Y4 children take part in the national Multiplication Tables Check. It is to determine whether Y4 children can recall their times tables fluently, which underpins much of the learning we do in maths. Closer to the time, we will be holding an information session for families to tell them more about what this involves. In the meantime, children should be regularly practising their times tables to enable them to become really fluent.
