To begin our learning in Year 4 we will be studying how children’s lives have changed through history and what life was like for children in the Victorian times, with a visit to the Industrial Museum in the Autumn term. Later in the year, we will learn about the Tudors, study the teachings of Islam in RE and learn about rivers and trade across the globe in geography. 

In mathematics, we will begin the year refreshing our knowledge of place value and basic number facts, as well as focusing on learning our multiplication facts up to 12x12 in preparation for our Multiplication Tables Check in the summer.  You can download the TT Rock Stars app for your child to practise at home and enter "The Battle of the Bands"!

In our science lessons, we will be exploring the organs in our body and how food is digested, including a disgusting experiment to show this in action! We will also cover topics about states of matter, electricity, classifying animals and recognising what a healthy diet looks like.   

In Year 4, swimming is on a Wednesday afternoon. 4C will swim until February half term and then it will be 4ES’ turn to swim until the summer. PE will be on Tuesday afternoon, and the class not swimming will also have PE on a Wednesday. Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on these days (black shorts or jogging bottoms, a uniform tee-shirt and sweatshirt and a pair of trainers). 

Please make sure your child brings a school bag, water bottle and their reading book to school every day. It would be great if you could listen to your child read at least three times a week and write positive comments in their reading record.

4C will enter the building at the beginning of the day through the Year 3 and 4 entrance and at the end of the day they will leave from the Year 2 cloakroom entrance. 

Please feel free to speak to us outside the classroom in the morning or after school if you have any questions.
