Year 4

Welcome back to Autumn 1, Year 4! We hope everyone had a great summer holiday and enjoyed a well-deserved break. We are excited to welcome the children back to a new school year.

This term, we have planned arranged in Humanities, the children will explore the question, “Is All of Europe the Same?” They will look at Italy and Greece and compare them with the UK, exploring climate zones, coastlines, mountain ranges, map skills and the similarities and differences between European countries.

In Science, the children will be learning about living things and their habitats. They will explore how living things can be grouped and classified, use classification keys to identify living things, and investigate how changes to environments can affect living things.

In Art, the children will explore tone, texture and proportion and learn how to create 3D drawings. They will experiment with different lines and tones to create texture and depth, while taking inspiration from the work of Nicola McBride.

Please continue to support your child with regular times-table practice, particularly in preparation for the government multiplication test. Times-table and fortnightly spelling practice will also be set on Sumdog. Homework is now compulsory and will be available on Google Classroom. Please encourage your child to complete the activities on the homework grid.

We are looking forward to a happy, successful and exciting Autumn term! If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Miss Cooper-Holt and Miss Bellinger
