Class 4

Welcome to Class 4! 

Miss Daws

Welcome to Class 4!

Please see below for details about what the children will be studying throughout the Summer term.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to message me on Class Dojo!

English

Throughout the summer term, we will take part in three English units. These will be a narrative unit, a newspaper and poetry. 

Our first unit will be all about stories from historical settings. We will use the Egyptian Cinderella to base our learning on. We will focus on a number of techniques to ensure our writing is suitable to a time in history. 

Guided Reading

In addition to our English lessons, the children will also have two Guided Reading sessions a week. The text focus will change each week (meaning we get to read a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry.) In these sessions, we will focus on using our VIPERS skills.

These consist of vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summarising.

Maths

This term, we will continue learning about decimals and we will later move on to learn about shape and time. 

RE

Year 4 will be continuing to learn about living like Jesus through their units this term. We begin with the Easter unit which addresses all things Jesus! We focus on how his resurrection guides us in our lives today. 

Geography

In Geography, our unit is all about Rivers. We will identify rivers on maps and think about all of the different features of rivers. 

History

In History, Class 4 will be focusing on Ancient Egypt. We will consider where this is placed on our historical timeline and how it links to our previous learning. Through the unit, we will be focusing on chronology and significance. 

Art

In Art, the children will be focusing on an artist called Henry Moore. This unit is focusing on the skill of sculpting and using clay to create models inspired by Moore. 

Science

We are currently learning about Living things and their habitats. Over the course of the unit, the children will take part in scientific enquiries and will set up their experiments using scientific knowledge and vocabulary.

Spanish

Hola! This term, the children will learn all about the weather. We will learn how to say what the weather is like today. 

P.E

In Year 4, we get to go swimming! Throughout the year, we will alternate between swimming and P.E sessions to ensure the children get the most out of the curriculum. 

Computing

The children will be combining their knowledge of codes and text types to create a presentation. 

DT

We will cover a range of units across the year.
