Year 4

 

Welcome Bears, Elephants, Lions and Tigers

Welcome to the Summer Term!

We hope you all had a lovely break and that you are feeling refreshed and ready for the new term ahead! We are so excited to have you back and can’t wait to get started on all the fantastic learning we have planned. With the weather getting brighter and the days becoming longer, it’s a fantastic time for new learning and experiences!

In English, we will be exploring a range of engaging, high-quality texts including: ‘Street Child’ by Berlie Doherty, a stunning picture book called ‘The Ever Changing Earth’ by Grahame Baker Smith, the inspiring classic, ‘Fly Eagle Fly’ by Christopher Gregorowski and Paula White’s ‘The Baker by the Sea’.

In mathematics, during this term, we will be covering a wide range of topics:

·         Number and Place Value

·         Addition and Subtraction

·         Multiplication and Division

·         Fractions

·         Measurement

·         Geometry and Properties of Shape

You’ll also get the chance to solve problems and puzzles to show how mathematics is used in everyday life.

This term, we will also be completing the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). This is a great chance to show how well you know your times tables, so keep practising regularly – you’ve got this!

Remember to keep up with your reading and maths practise at home, especially your times tables, as this will help you feel more confident. Don’t forget to complete your weekly homework too. Please see the ‘useful links’ tab on the ‘Year Group Pages’ home page for easy access to the regular websites we use.

In science, we will study ‘States of Matter’ and we will begin our exciting topic on ‘Volcanoes’ in our geography lessons. Don’t forget to read and discuss the vocabulary and knowledge mats with your family either, to deepen your understanding of what you are learning this term.

We are incredibly proud of all the progress made so far this year and we are looking forward to another successful term. Let’s make the most of every opportunity and continue to aim high!

We are very much looking forward to the learning journey ahead.

Best wishes,

Mrs Beceiro, Mrs Hampton, Mr Hopkins, Mrs Mulvihill and Miss Sharma.
