WELCOME TO

 YEAR 4!

Summer 1

For easy reference, here's a brief overview of the learning for this half term:

Coming up during Summer 1:

🔴 Maths – We will continue with our Decimals topic, including dividing by 10 and recognising hundreds as decimals. Following this, we will have a short unit learning all about money, including estimating, converting and problem-solving. 

🟠 English – We will be using the story 'Weslandia' to create brochures, which advertise our own civilisations. The children will use lots of year 4 writing skills, as well as using their creative imaginations. 

🟢 PSHE -  Our new unit is Diverse Britain. We are looking at celebrating difference, understanding individual liberty and exploring why rules and laws are so important. We will also be continuing with our No Outsiders and Zones of Regulation curriculums too.

🔵 Science - Children will begin their unit on 'Sound', where they will explore pitch, understand how vibrations create sound and enjoy lots of practical investigations.

🔴 History - Our new unit is Romans. It will begin with looking at invaders and settlers, understanding why Romans invaded Britain and investigating the impact of Boudicca. 

🟠 RE - Our big question next half term is 'What does it mean to be a Hindu in Britain today?'

PE will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure children come in their PE kits on these days.

Excitingly, we have a Roman Workshop to take place in school this half term. Children will take part in lots of fun activities, such as handling artefacts, becoming legionaries and experiencing camp life and using a roman shield to march as part of an army. Please see Weduc for more details.
