Pearl Class
Welcome to Year 4
My name is Mr Wrigley and I am the teacher in Pearl Class.
We are also very lucky to have Mrs Waggott working alongside us in class as well. Mrs Cording and Mrs Shaw also cover sometimes.
This page will include information about our class and also about our current learning.
This half term, our Art topic is 'Space', in Geography we will be learning about 'Spatial Sense', our History topic is 'Ancient Greece' and we will be learning about the 'The Cycles of Nature' in Science.
We will be using the 'Who Let The Gods Out' as our core text in half term 1 to help us to write our own fantasy portal stories. Then we will read 'The Firework Makers Daughter' by Philip Pullman in half term 2.
This term, we have Doncaster Rovers coaches taking our PE sessions on a Friday morning. Our other PE day will be on Mondays.
Pearl class visited Sandall Beat Wood to practise their geographical skills by orienteering and apply technology skills in campfire cooking.
Weekly Homework
Reading - If pupils read 3 times a week (and this is signed in their reading records), they will receive a recognition sticker.
Spellings - Every Monday, pupils are sent home with spellings to practise for the spelling tests the following Monday. It is really important that spellings are practised so they can make progress.
Times Tables - To enable children to progress within Maths, it is essential that they can recall their times tables up to 12 x 12. Weekly practice, using our times tables mats, will help children to improve their recall. The websites below have a range of games that can support children with this:

Don't forget to play on Times Tables Rockstars!
We will be having frequent times tables battles as the year progresses.
