Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome to our Year 4

Web Page

Here is what we'll be learning about during the Summer term:

• Our main topic is 'Ancient Civilizations'. Here, we will learn about the Ancient Sumerians and the Ancient Egyptians.

• In reading, we will continue to build on our vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summary skills.

• In Maths, we will continue to learn about Decimals, then move on to Money, Time, Statistics, Properties of Shape, and finally Geometry - position and shape.

• We are continuing to practise times tables. The children will be sitting the National Year 4 Times Table check in June (the format is very similar to ‘Soundcheck’ on TTRS) – more details to follow after half-term.

• In Science, we will be learning about electricity. The children will learn about electrical appliances and safety. They construct simple series circuits and name their parts and functions, including switches, wires and cells. They investigate electrical conductors and insulators and identify common features of conductors.

• We will continue to have PE on Tuesdays with Mr English, so please come into school with your PE kit on this day.

• We are also looking forward to our PGL trip on 5th-6th May.

Throughout the year, we will keep these pages updated so you can see what we are learning about in school. 

Planners

Please continue to check your child’s planner regularly so that you can see what they should be doing and sign it to acknowledge that you have read it. You can also record any home reading there and sign for the Read to Succeed school challenge. Children will have their new spellings in their planners every Monday and will be tested the following Monday.
