Year 4

Dear Families,

Welcome back to Summer 2. We hope you are looking forward to the last term, which will be the most exciting as yet.

We have got some brilliant projects planned for this half term. We are starting the term off with Science which is based on electricity. Students will learn how electricity works and create circuits, testing whether objects are insulators or not. This will then lead on to our exciting D+T project where children will put their Science skills to the test by designing and creating their very own torches. Additionally, in Geography children will learn about mountains and volcanos, getting an opportunity to create volcano at the end of the project. Lastly, we will be going on our fun packed school trip to Celtic Harmony in July. Children will get the chance to immerse themselves in outdoor activities based on the Romans, Stone Age and nature.

At the beginning of this term, children will under go a government based multiplication test. It is imperative that the children continue to practice their times tables as soon as possible. We will incorporate times table practice weekly during Maths lessons as well as provide homework on Sumdog. But we encourage parents to support children with practising at home. Furthermore, we have a added biweekly spelling practice on to Sumdog, which children will have 2 weeks to complete.

Below you’ll find the learning taking place over the next 7 weeks. You will also find the homework grid. Homework is now compulsory, so please encourage your child to complete some or all of the activities. You will find all the resources on the google classroom. Your children access this in class regularly so should be confident using it at home. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or queries to get in touch.
