This term we will be learning to be the following:

Geographers

Buckle up, explorers! This term, we’re scaling the world’s most magnificent peaks. From the jagged Ben Nevis to the fiery volcanoes of the Ring of Fire, you’ll discover how the Earth’s crust folds and crumples to create giant mountains.

 

Scientists

Get ready to spark your curiosity! This year, we’re diving into the high-energy world of Electricity.

We will become a circuit master, learning how to power bulbs and buzzers using cells, wires, and switches. We’ll hunt for conductors and insulators and discover the "magic" behind how appliances actually work. It’s going to be a hair-raising adventure filled with hands-on experiments and bright ideas!

 

Reading

Get ready for an explosive adventure! This term, we’re diving into Philip Pullman’s The Firework-Maker’s Daughter.

Join Lila on her perilous quest to the Grotto of the Fire-Fiend to prove she’s a master of the craft. We’ll sharpen our prediction skills, explore vivid imagery, and unpick the secrets of this magical world. Expect soaring vocabulary, crackling debates, and a journey through the heart of the jungle!

 

Designers...

Calling all designers! This term in D&T, we’re leveling up from paper to fabric as we master the art of textiles. You’ll learn essential sewing skills—from threading needles to perfecting the running stitch—to create your very own bespoke book cover.

Get ready to measure, cut, and decorate, turning plain cloth into a masterpiece that protects your favorite stories. Let’s get stitching!

Multiplication Table Check

 

One of the primary focuses for Year 4 this year is preparing for the Multiplication Check scheduled for July. Understanding the significance of this assessment, we will work diligently throughout the year to ensure that students have a solid grasp of their times tables.

 

To support our efforts, parents are encouraged to engage with their children in practicing their multiplication facts at home. In our classroom, we will implement a weekly focus on a specific times table, utilizing spare moments during our day. This targeted practice will reinforce memorization, boost confidence, and ensure a firm understanding of multiplication concepts.

 

A fun way to learn multiplication facts through fun songs!
