In Year 4 we are focused on striving to be the best learners we can! This year our focus is on fluency in Times Tables, love of reading and extending our vocabulary. 

Unlocking our potential to achieve our dreams! 

Home Expectations

In Year 4 we encourage all our children to read with an adult daily at home for 10 minutes a night.  Children must bring their reading book and reading diary into school daily. 

Homework is usually sent on a Friday. This can be a physical copy or online on Purple Mash.  it must be handed in on Wednesday.

All children in Year 4 have logins to 'Timetables Rock Stars'. We encourage our children to practice their times tables daily. The children have their own logins in their reading records. 

PE

Our PE day this term is Wednesday, and we ask our children to come into school wearing their PE kits on this day. 

Autumn learning

We have all hit the ground running in year 4 this term.  With our amazing trip to the Botanical gardens where we were able to experience a real life tropical rainforest and handled and found out about many different animals.  The children were really brave!! Last half term we learned all about the Ancient Greeks and enjoyed our Greek day where we got to taste Greek food.

                                                  

We visited the incredible Royal Opera House in London where  the chikldren got to experience an actual ballet 'La Fille Mal Gardee' it was so very fancy!  We also went to the cinema and watched 'The Wild Robot' which we all loved.  If you get the chance to watch it, we would defintely recommend.

During our World of Magic topic, Year 4 will be delving into the magical world of Harry Potter. In Literacy they will be focusing on Playscripts which the children will perform and write as if they were arriving on their first day at magic school. After the children have visited the amazing World of Harry Potter Studio Tour they will be using their skills in past tense writing to publish a recount of their trip on trip advisor. Furthermore, the children will be developing their stamina by writing a fantasy story based on the first Harry Potter book. In Science, the children will be learning all about States of Matter including exciting investigations and enquiries into changing states. During our afternoon topic work the children will be focusing on music. The children will learn about John Williams and how he has influenced film and orchestral music. They will then use their creative composition skills to write an accompaniment for this piece. The children will also explore beliefs in God in RE and the artistic techniques of shading and blending using oil pastels as the medium. In computing the children will develop their skills in coding and create their very own stop motion film.
