Year 4 2018 - 2019

Welcome to Year 4

This term our class topic is Rainforests

In Literacy we will be using Talk 4 Writing to learn and write our own texts based on these books.

POETRY – Kennings

NARRATIVE – Elf Road (a portal story) by Pie Corbett & Gorrila by Anthony Browne

NON-FICTION – Non-chronological reports about rainforest animals & persuasive letters to supermarkets

In guided reading, we will be reading The Magician's Nephew by C.S Lewis and The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.

In Maths we will study place value, addition & subtraction, multiplication & division, angle and measurement.

Throughout each unit of study we will use our reasoning skills to solve more complex problems and challenges. There will be plenty of opportunities for pupils to work collaboratively to solve problems in pairs, small groups and as a class.
