Class Dojo is a great way for us to keep in touch with you. We post regular photos of the work we have been doing in school.

There is also the option for you to upload things you've been doing at home to your child's portfolio.  It's always great to see what you've been up to!

Our PE will be on a Wednesday with Mr Coleclough  Please can all Year 4 children come into school on these days in their PE Kit.

Please ensure that your child is dressed in the correct PE kit.

 

World Knowledge

The Spring term's World Knowledge context for learning is 'Let's go: Magical Adventures Awaits' 

Over the term, we will be learning about Rivers and Mountains.

We will be investigating 3 main concepts:

responsibility, nature and consequences

We will be linking other areas of the curriculum to our context for learning this term.

 

English

Over our second half term, we will be focusing on the text 'Where the forest meets the sea'. 

When a young boy visits a tropical rain forest, he pretends it is a long time ago and that extinct and rare animals live in the forest, and aboriginal children play there.

But how much longer will the rainforest remain?

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages: Divide by 10 and 100, Rounding to whole number.  Eqivalent fractions, decimal notation up to 2 decimal places, Counting in hundredths
