Year 4 2021 - 2022

Welcome to Year 4!

It is lovely to be back and the children are settling into school routines really well. We have a very busy Autumn term planned and have already made a great start. 

In English, we are looking at the book Gorilla by Anthony Browne which will also link to our art for this half term. In Maths, we will be learning about place value and beginning to develop our knowledge of the four operations. In Science, we will be investigagting how electricity works and how sounds are made. Our topic for the term is Ancient Greece and will include geograpy and history. We will also be making our own vases using clay. We will be learning to play the ukulele and will have lessons every Friday afternoon. We will also be learning Spanish with Senora Woolley. In RE, we will be learning about Jewish and Christian festivals. 

We will be working hard to prepare for the year 4 times table check in the summer term and will use Times Table Rock Stars to support us. Please encourage your child to use this at home - a few minutes daily works best! 

PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays and children can come to school in their PE kits. Please make sure they have suitable clothing for the weather. 

Please use the Y4 email address to contact us, or for something urgent give the office a call.
