Welcome to Year 4

We have so many things to look forward to this term!

• In RE,  we will be learning about the Eucharist. The Bible tells us about God and his love for us. We will learn some Old Testament stories and be introduced to some important religious themes such as trusting in God and prayer. We will have the opportunity to develop our research skills by looking up Bible references. 
• In English this half term we will be writing a narrative based on work they will do around the book the Varjak Paw by SF Said. We'll have the opportunity to read and listen to the story a number of times then engage with the text through drama, discussion and debate in order to increase their familiarity with the structure of the story. There is also a grammar focus on using adverbials of time and place and a chance to develop thesaurus skills. We will then plan their own story's and play scripts based on the structure of Varjak Paw.
• In Maths, Year 4 will consolidate their knowledge of place value and the four operations whilst starting our new topic of Fractions 
• PE will be on Tuesday and Swimming will be every Thursday afternoon. Please can all children be dressed appropriately for both.
• Homework will be set on a Monday due in for Friday.
• Spellings will be set on a Friday for a test the following Friday.
• There will be ad hoc times tables tests in lessons so please make sure you are learning all your times tables at home.
