Welcome to Year 4!

Autumn 2

Year 4 has an exciting half-term ahead, packed with new discoveries, creative projects and practical learning. From exploring rivers to building circuits, there is lots to look forward to!

Here’s a snapshot of what we will be exploring:

Geography: Raging Rivers

We will explore how rivers are formed, learn about their key features and discover how they shape our landscapes.

Science: Circuits and Components

We will investigate electricity, explore different components and build simple circuits to discover how they work.

 RE: What Is the Trinity?

We will explore the Christian belief in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Design and Technology: Let’s Get Connected!

We will design and make simple electrical systems, creating circuits and switches and discovering how they work.

Computing: Bringing Ideas to Life Through Animation

We will learn how to create animations, using digital tools to bring our creative ideas to life.

 PE: Shooting Hoops and Making a Splash!

In basketball, we will develop our ball-control, passing, shooting and teamwork skills. Alongside this, our swimming lessons will commence this half term.

PSHE: Valuing Difference

We will explore respect, kindness and inclusion. We will learn why valuing differences helps us build positive relationships and create a welcoming community.

 Spanish: ¡Hola! Presenting Myself

We will develop our Spanish-speaking skills by learning how to introduce ourselves and share information about who we are. 

Please see below for our timetable, curriculum overview, curriculum information newsletter and knowledge organisers which will give you much more information about our learning.

If you have any questions or concerns, please book an appointment for a Parents' Surgery on Thursday afternoon or speak to one of the Year 4 team.

We look forward to an exciting half term learning together!
