Year 4

Dear Families,

Welcome back to Summer 1 of Year 4. We hope you had a relaxing, well-deserved break and are ready for busy but fun term ahead.

This Summer, Year 4 will be exploring an exciting range of topics across the curriculum. In Geography, we will be learning about the environment posing the question 'How can we take care of our local environment?'. We will be looking at our local environment and venturing out into the field to collect data about our local area. In Art, we will be focusing on developing our art and design skills through pattern and design. We will study William Morris, create mood boards, and design our own repeating patterns inspired by nature. Children will use a range of materials, learn about fabric printing, evaluate their work, and apply their designs to products such as fabric or wallpaper.

At the beginning of summer 2, 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 6 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.
