Topic – To Infinity And Beyond!
Can your child tell you how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun?
How about how long it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth?
Year Four seem to be really enjoying the Space topic! Last half term, the children produced some fantastic drawings of some of the space artefacts we have in school – take a look at our space display in class! This half term we will be developing our sewing skills to create alien hand puppets.
We have an exciting visit from a space dome to look forward to at the end of March when the children will experience an interactive virtual tour of the solar system!
Ideas for helping your child with maths
This week we are learning to recognise and write the numerals 0-9. Here are some ideas for helping your child at home.
Choose a number for the week eg 2
Encourage your child to look for this number all the time, at home, in the street and while out shopping.
Choose a different number each week and encourage your child to write the numeral.
Try this website for games to help your child to recognise numerals.

TAG rugby
For the next half term, Year 6 will be taking part in five weeks of tag rugby coaching on Monday afternoons. The programme has been set up by Leeds Carnegie and we are one of a small number of local schools selected to take part.
Please ensure children have their outdoor PE kit at school for these sessions.

We can write super sentences!
We have been learning even more about sentences. We all know that a sentence needs:
- to make sense
- a full stop at the end
- a capital letter at the beginning
Now we are even adding a conjunction. A conjunction is a word that joins two sentences together. We have been learning to use “but”, “and” and “because”.
Look at our super sentences!
