Year 4

Dear Families,

Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn term of Year 4. We hope you had a relaxing, well-deserved break and are now looking forward to a jam packed term ahead.

This half term promises to be an engaging and enriching period of learning, filled with opportunities for creativity, curiosity, and discovery. In History, pupils will study the Ancient Greeks, exploring their myths, democracy, and enduring influence on modern society. In Science, the focus will be on the Digestive System, where pupils will investigate how food travels through the body and how different organs work together to process nutrients. Computing lessons will see pupils plan, record, and edit their own podcasts, developing both technical and communication skills. In Design and Technology, pupils will apply their understanding of mechanisms by designing and constructing a working sleigh, exploring how levers, pulleys, and gears operate.

In summer term 1, children will under go a government based multiplication test. It is imperative that the children continue to practice their times tables as soon as possible. We will incorporate times table practice weekly during Maths lessons as well as provide homework on Sumdog. But we encourage parents to support children with practising at home. Furthermore, we have a added biweekly spelling practice on to Sumdog, which children will have 2 weeks to complete.

Below you’ll find the learning taking place over the next 7 weeks. You will also find the homework grid. Homework is now compulsory, so please encourage your child to complete some or all of the activities. You will find all the resources on the google classroom. Your children access this in class regularly so should be confident using it at home. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions or queries to get in touch.
