Times Tables

Learning the times tables is a big focus in Year 4. By the end of Year 4, all children are suppose to know all the time tables up to 12x12. We will have much practise time in class but we also ask that the children practise these at home as well.

Please use the links below to practise the times tables using games.

Wars of Our World

As part of our topic this term, we have been learning about WW1. The children have been busy creating trenches as part of their homework. We have had some fantastic creations made of lego as well as more natural materials such as dirt and straw.
