Our over arching question focus for the year is...

Can Something Be Good And Bad At The Same Time?

Welcome to Badgers class!

We are very excited to be starting another school year and getting to share it with the brilliant Badgers. We are looking forward to seeing what this school year brings and working with our new class. If there is anything you would like to talk about or need to ask a question, our door is always open. 

Here is to a fantastic school year.

Multiplication Check

In the Summer Term, the children in Year 4 will complete the Multiplication Check. This check is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on the times tables up to 12 x 12. For each question, the children are given 6 seconds to answer. We are very proud of the progress the children have made with their times tables so far and are keen to continue to support them to learn all of their times tables before the Summer Term. We have linked some websites below that the children can go on at home to help them practice their fluency in times tables.
