Year 4

We have lots of exciting learning to get through this term. Here’s a glimpse of what we have planned:

English: We will be focusing on the novel Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx. Our activities will include reading the story, analysing character and setting descriptions, and writing our own innovated versions. Our grammar focus will be on fronted adverbials, and we will also recap expanded noun phrases.

Maths: We will continue building on our previous work on decimals to prepare for the money unit later in the term.

History: Our topic is Ancient Egypt, which is sure to captivate the children. From gory facts to mummification, ancient traditions, and the pyramids, there will be plenty to engage their interest.

PE: We will focus on football skills on Tuesday afternoons and athletics on Thursdays.

My Happy Mind: We will start the next unit, “Relate,” and also learn about water safety during the summer months.

Science: We will continue with our Electricity unit, looking at circuits, how they are made and how we can problem solve when the circuit does not work.

Please continue to read with your child at home and sign their reading record. This helps us track their reading progress. Let us know if they enjoyed or didn’t enjoy a book so we can provide books that engage and excite them. We want the children to develop a love of reading and enjoy reading for pleasure.

Keep an eye on Seesaw and the School social media posts for more information on upcoming events and dates for your diary.

Let’s make this Summer Term a memorable and productive one! 😊
