Year 4H 2024 - 2025

Welcome to 4H

Spring 2

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

During our History topic, “Anglo Saxons and Vikings”, we will be visiting Tatton Park on Tuesday 18th March. While we are there, we will be experiencing what life was like as Anglo-Saxons in ‘Briton’ after the invasion of the Vikings. This experience will help us with future learning for our History lessons.

In English, we will be starting off looking at narrative poetry and discovering how the Weeping Willow tree got its name. After that, we will move on to exploring mystical stories including a stories about, Mermaids, Selkies and Beowulf, the monster. We will finish off by writing non-chorological reports about the Anglo – Saxons and the Vikings which links with our History topic.

In Maths, we will be exploring tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimal numbers. We will be identifying missing numbers on a number line by finding the patterns and working out the difference between sequenced numbers. Further to this, we will be looking at addition and subtraction of money.

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 look at what makes living things different and thing how we can compare them using scientific classification groups.

In R.E, this term we will be looking at why Christians call the day Jesus died ‘Good Friday’. We will explore the events of Holy Week leading up to Jesus’ death.

In DT, we will be making Pop Up Story Books for younger children. We will look at many examples and see how creative we can get after practising different pop up mechanisms.

Please remember that all children are still required to bring their swimming kit on Monday morning including a swim suit and towel. PE kits are also required on Thursday for outdoor PE lessons.

Thank you for your continued support.
