What an exciting half term we have ahead in Year 4!

In Maths, we’re starting by strengthening our skills in addition and subtraction, before moving on to explore multiplication, division and area. The children are already showing great enthusiasm as they tackle new challenges and make connections between different areas of maths.

In English, we’re diving into a beautiful book called The Crown, which is helping us to create our very own informational texts. The story will really capture the children’s imaginations and inspire some wonderful writing and thoughtful discussions.

Our Science topic, Animals Including Humans, has already sparked lots of curiosity! We’re learning all about the digestive system and teeth, and we’ll be carrying out some fun, messy experiments to help us understand how our bodies work. This links perfectly with our PSHE lessons, where we’re thinking about how to keep ourselves healthy through good choices and habits.

In History, we’re stepping back in time to discover the fascinating world of the Romans. From learning about their inventions and way of life to exploring their lasting impact on Britain, it’s a topic that’s really bringing history to life. Our whole-class reading also ties in, helping us see the Romans from different perspectives through engaging stories and fun facts.

To top it all off, we’re very excited to be performing on stage at our very own mini music festival alongside three other local schools. It’s going to be a fantastic opportunity to share our hard work, build confidence, and celebrate together through music!

We can’t wait to share this exciting half-term of learning with the children in the run up to Christmas.

Thank you for your continued support.
