Year 4C 2020 - 2021

Spring 2

Wow! We are now in the fourth half term of Year 4! 

To kick start our History theme; “How the Victorians Influenced our Local Area,” we will be visiting the Rochdale Pioneers Museum on Toad Lane in our first week. This is where the very first Co-op began in 1844. Look out for the photographs on the gallery page. We will be using all the information we gathered to further our learning in the rest of our history lessons.

In English, we will be finishing off our unit on fears by continuing to look at Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears. We will then use Book Week to study a text called “The lost happy ending” which we will use to base a couple of pieces of writing on. 

In Maths, we will be exploring fractions in great detail: what they are; how they are used in everyday life; and adding and subtracting fractions. We will then move on to decimals and investigate the pattern between them.

In Science, Year 4 moves onto living things and their habitats where we will be looking at what all living things have in common. We will then move look at what makes living things different and thing how we can compare them.

In R.E, this term we will focus on trust and betrayal. We will explore who we can trust and if we can trust all of these individuals for all things we need help with. We will then link all of this new knowledge to the Easter story.

Please remember that all children are still required to bring their swimming kit on Monday morning including a bathing suit and towel.
