Year 4

Welcome to Year 4!

This year, you will be taught by Miss Dobson, who was previously in Year 5 and Mrs Ford, who was previously in F2. We are so excited to start our journey together and cannot wait for the fun to commence.

Maths: We will begin by revisiting our Number and Place Value knowledge, focusing on 4 digit numbers. We will represent 4 digit numbers in a range of ways, round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000 and order and compare 4 digit numbers using the following mathematical symbols < > and =.

English: Throughout Autumn 1, we will be focusing on the text ‘Escape from Pompeii’ to write a newspaper article about Mount Vesuvius exploding and creating a setting description from the point of view of a Roman person. During reading lessons will be be focusing on a wide range of texts from the genre Myths and Legends.

RE: Our topic this half term will be ‘The Bible’. We will be looking at many different stories from the Bible and how we can relate to them today, reflect on difficult decisions made and think about why God chose those people to lead the way.

Theme: This half term we will be focusing on The Romans. We will investigate who the Romans were, why they decided to invade Britain and what legacy they left behind. We will have a go at making some bread for a Roman feast and designing out own mosaic display for a public bath.

Our PE day will be WEDNESDAY, so please come into school with your PE kits on.
