Year 4

 

 

Dear Families,


Welcome back to the first term of Year 4. We hope you had a fantastic summer and are now looking forward to a jam packed year ahead. 

We have an exciting half term of learning ahead, filled with creativity, curiosity, and exploration. We will begin with a whole-school art initiative, the ‘Take One Picture Project’, inspired by the National Gallery in London. This project invites children to study and reimagine a famous artwork, providing them with a unique opportunity to express their creativity while developing their artistic skills. In science, this terms topic will be Living Things and Their Habitats. Children will investigate the fascinating world of mini-beasts through hands-on exploration and discover how food chains work within different ecosystems. Our geography focus will be ‘Is All of Europe the Same?’. Through this topic, children will explore the location of European countries, their climates, topography, and the surrounding seas and oceans, developing a deeper understanding of the continent’s diversity. Finally, we will return to art with a study of the contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Children will learn about perspective drawing and create their own artworks inspired by Kusama’s iconic dot patterns, blending technique with imagination.

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 8 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.
