The Mayans

This term we are learning all about the Mayans. We cracked a code on immersive learning day and worked in a team to build Mayan temples - challenged by the fact only 2 people could see the picture of what it should look like! During the term we have also created small dramas and freeze frames to understand the different jobs and roles of Mayans!

Homework

In addition to the maths sheet, children are expected to read at home and practice TTRockstars 3 x weekly (5 mins). There will be a spelling test on 5/11/25 (first week back after half term)

Timestables and TT Rockstars
In Year 4, children will be expected to complete a statutory maths check in Summer.To help them prepare for this we practice timestables daily in year 4 and we encourage the children to continue to practice whilst at home. All the children have access to TT Rockstars (Please find log ins in the front of your child's planner).  There are also many websites which can support with your child's learning of timestabes, in school we use Multiplication Tables Check - 2025 - Timestables.co.uk as this mirrors the statutory check closely.
