monthly Highlights
Year 4 have had a busy and exciting few weeks this half term, with the highlight being our residential trip to This Green Moon. The children threw themselves into every part of the camping experience, including campfire cooking, den building, farm walks and evening bat walks through the woods.
It was lovely to see the children showing so much teamwork, resilience and curiosity throughout the trip, and they should be very proud of how they supported one another across the two days.
Summer Term Gallery
During the Summer term, our learning will focus on the Ancient Greeks. We will explore their history, culture, and influence on the modern world.
In maths, we will be learning about decimals, developing our understanding of place value and number.
In science, we will study living things, including humans, looking at how bodies work and how we stay healthy.
In English, we will be writing myths, creating encyclopaedia entries, and designing tourist leaflets for Greece, linking our writing closely to our topic.
Spring Term Gallery
During the Spring term, our learning focused on the Romans. We explored life in Roman Britain and deepened our understanding through a brilliant Roman Day with an expert, which really brought the topic to life.
In maths, we worked on fractions and began to explore beyond the whole. In Geography, we developed our map reading skills, using symbols, keys, and grid references.
In English, we continued to build our writing skills through engaging texts linked to our Roman topic, including persuasive letters, newspaper reports, and an interview with Boudicca.
Autumn term gallery
During the Autumn term, our learning focused on Black History and rivers. We explored significant people and events, alongside developing our understanding of how rivers are formed and why they are important.
In English, our class text was How to Train Your Dragon, which inspired diary writing in role and detailed dragon fact files.
In maths, we focused on place value, building a strong foundation in number.
Across the term, there was a clear focus on developing confidence, independence, and presentation.
