Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

This term, we will be continuing to learn about the ‘Impact of the Romans in Britain’ in History and finding out about North America during our Geography lessons.

In English, we will be reading lots of engaging texts and writing in a range of styles including narrative and persuasive. We will cover a variety of grammatical features and continue to practise spelling words from the year 3/4 spelling list.

In Maths we will be learning about fractions and decimals. We will also be revisiting the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and focusing on fluency. We will continue to learn our times tables. Please help your child with this by encouraging them to practise regularly at home either on paper or through helpful websites such as TT Rockstars or Hit the Button.

 In Science, we be learning about ‘States of Matter. We will find out how about the three states and the processes required to change between them

In Art we will be producing still-life artwork and in DT we will be making mechanical posters.

In RE we will be focusing on Buddhism and thinking about how Buddha’s teaching can help the world to be a better place. We will then be looking at Christianity and the Easter story.

Topics we've been learning:

Year 4 enjoyed wearing odd socks for anti-bullying week to highlight that we should all be celebrated for our differences. We also took part in a workshop with Flip Theatre to further explore bullying. We’ve really enjoyed coding using repetition and loops in our computing lessons. We also coded our own games. Our new topic for science this half term is Sound. We investigated different ways that we could show that sound is made by vibrations.
