Welcome to Year 4!
The Year 4 Classes are taught by Mr Pullen (Sapphire) & Mr Squires (Jade) and our TAs Ms. Graham, Mr Nash. Our PPA cover teachers are Ms. Simpson & Ms. Moss.
This year we are going to have many adventures to help us learn, from travelling through Africa to journeying through the human body!
This half term has a large science focus where we will be learning to describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system and identifying the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions. We will also be developing our enquiry skills through a range of experiments. We will use this knowledge and apply it through our English lessons as we write non fiction texts about the human body.
In maths lessons, our focus is fractions: ordering; comparing; and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
As artists, we will be able to learn about the unique work of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We will look closely at the proportions of a human face, explore ways of creating different textures using pencil, develop ideas in our sketchbooks and work to produce a final collage portrait in the style of Arcimboldo.
Homework
Homework tasks are provided on a Friday, where appropriate and should be completed by the following Friday.
This term, we are continuing to have Forest School on alternate Fridays, so please ensure your child has clothing that is appropriate for working outside.
We will also be doing indoor and outdoor PE on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Please send your child to school in their named PE kit, with other clothes in a bag, so that they can change after the lesson.
