Year 4C 2023 - 2024

Welcome to 4H

Welcome back after the Easter break!   

Wow – A new term already! We are very excited about this term and have many things we need to achieve before we are ready for Year 5.

In English, we will be having a debate about zoos: Are they good or bad?  We usually think they are fantastic until we begin to consider alternative points of view whilst reading Anthony Browne’s book “Zoo.” We are looking at all points of view and will be writing a balanced argument at the end of the Unit. Later on, in the term we will look at the very funny books of David Walliams. 

In Maths, we continue to challenge and stretch ourselves using problem solving techniques. We are learning about co-ordinates and translation. Whilst continuing to learn improve our times table knowledge.

In Science, we are looking at Trees. This is a topic specifically used for St Peter’s as we have a wide variety of trees within our grounds to appreciate and explore. Towards the end of the topic, we will be find out which is the oldest and youngest trees in our school.

This term we will going on a walk of the local area for our Geography field work to explore which rocks can be found in Rochdale. This links to our topic on earthquakes and volcanoes.

In R.E., we are learning about what makes up a church. At the beginning the children thought that a church was just a building. We are currently building up a bigger picture about how a church is shaped by the people.

This term’s Art focuses on, Journeys and how we can record them through drawing and collage.

Swimming continues right on through the Summer term and looks to consolidate the progress made in the Autumn lesson. P.E. in school is continues with Outdoor Games. Please can you ensure that your child has their P.E kit in school on Thursdays.

Thank you for your continued support.
