Autumn Term

                                 Our topic for this term is entitled:

We are Global Citizens

 

Welcome to the Autumn Term in Year 4! 

We hope you've had a relaxing and fun summer break! We are looking forward to getting into the swing of the new school year with a busy but exciting autumn term of learning!

This term our History focus will ask the question 'How have children's lives change?'  In Science, we will learn about changes of state. Our Geography lessons will teach us to become good global citizens and look at where our food comes from. In D&T, we will learn how to construct a torch and in Art, we will work on using light and dark in our creations. Our R.E lessons will look at the respect and ask the question 'Are all religions equal?'

 

Our Active Read texts this term will be Streetchild and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  Our writing will also be linked to these and other quality stories taken from our Monty Reads List for Year 4. In Maths, we will recap our understanding of place value and begin work on the four operations. Regular practise of times tables on TTRS and our Key Instant Recall Facts is essential for everyone to make the expected progress and be as prepared as possible for the Multiplication Checker in June.

This term our P.E will be every Wednesday and Thursday.  On these days, please come dressed in your Montgomerie P.E kit with any earrings removed and long hair tied back. Our lessons are Hockey and Netball
