Welcome to Badgers Class!
Teacher - Miss Bollam
Teaching Assistant - Miss Brewerton
Our over arching question focus for the year is...
Can Something Be Good And Bad At The Same Time?
Our question for this term is:
Was erasing Hatshepsut’s name an act of protection or injustice?
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.

Home Learning Tasks
To help support the children with their learning at home, we are encouraging them to complete the following short home tasks each week
- Spelling practice of their weekly spelling words (given out in class)
- 15 minutes of TTRS that is set weekly and is scheduled on TTRS to appear at 3:10pm every Friday and will be available until the following Friday at 8am.
- Children are expected to complete 15 minutes of TTRS a week. We always have sheets available for those that are unable to access TTRS online.
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.
