Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

In the Autumn term, we will be learning about Rivers and their importance during our Geography lessons. We will then be moving on to studying the fascinating Romans in History.

 

In English, we will be reading engaging texts and writing narrative based on them. 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 formal methods for addition and subtraction. We will also continue to learn and practise 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 will be learning about 'Circuits and Conductors'. We will find out how electricity is generated and conduct experiments to find out how a circuit works. Then, we will learn about sound.

 

In Art we will be producing art which helps tell a story.

 

In Design and Technology, we will be exploring electrical systems and making a torch.

 

In RE we will be focusing on Buddhism and Christianity

Previous 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.
