Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope you have had a bright and sunny Easter break.

We are looking forward to a wonderfully busy and exciting term in Year 4, filled with creativity, hands-on learning, and a deep dive into the fascinating worlds of Ancient Greece, storytelling, science, and more.

English

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – The children will write their own creative narratives inspired by Alice’s journey, using fronted adverbials, similes, metaphors, and a range of sentence types to bring their stories to life.

History & Science

Our history work will centre around Ancient Greece. In science, we will study the classification of plants and animals, learning how to identify characteristics such as whether they are vertebrates or invertebrates, cold-blooded or warm-blooded, and how to group different types of plants.

Maths

Decimals (B)
Money
Telling the time

The children will tackle real-life maths problems and continue to build their confidence and fluency.

Art & DT

In art, our topic "Working in 3 Dimensions" will allow the children to explore sculpture and structure while building their creativity and resilience. In DT, the children will design and test slingshot cars, combining teamwork with engineering!

Computing & PSHE

In computing, we will work on animation, effective online searching, and how to look after money.
In PSHE, we will explore jobs, animal rights, and what it means to make wise financial choices.

Our big question in RE will be: What does it mean to be a Hindu in Britain today? The children will explore Hindu beliefs, daily practices, and important festivals and celebrations.

We’re excited for what promises to be a joyful and enriching term ahead. Thank you, as always, for your continued support. If you have any questions or need anything throughout the term, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Reminders

PE is on a Thursday and Friday. The children must always have a named PE kit in school. Please ensure that your child has clothing appropriate for the colder weather.

Children should be reading at home daily. Our aim is to encourage the children to develop a love of reading and it would be greatly appreciated if you could hear them read regularly.

Wishing you all the best as we begin this new term.

Warm regards,
The Year 4 Team
