Here’s what we’ll be covering this term in Year 4:
English
In English this term, the children will be writing adverts. We will be using persuasive devices to write our own adverts to encourage people to visit Surrey Street Primary School.
We will then be looking at the picture book ‘Flotsam’ by David Wiesner and will be writing stories based on this.
We will be continuing to read ‘Charlie Changes into a Chicken’ as our class story.
Maths
This half-term we will be focusing on addition/ subtraction, multiplication and division.
When adding and subtracting, we will be using strategies to check our answers.
We will be multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number using a formal method.
We will be learning to divide a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.
Topics that we will be covering across the half-term
 |
Geography - Migration: We will be learning about why people migrate to other countries. Computing - Animation: We will be creating our own animations. Science - Eco-Systems: We will be learning what an eco-system is. PSHE - Relationships RE - Religion in society: How different religions worked together in the past. |
PE
PE days are Mondays and Thursday.
We will be taking part in athletics activities and learning to play cricket.
Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing; this can be in the form of plain black tracksuit bottoms or plain black shorts and a plain white or red t-shirt.
Homework
Homework continues to be spellings, reading and TT Rock Stars.
TT Rock Stars homework will be set Monday - Sunday.
If children in years 3 and 4 have not logged the first of their weekly reads by Wednesday, then they will be expected to stay in and join ‘reading club’, on a Thursday if they have not completed 2 reads and on a Friday if they have not completed 3 reads.
Children will then be able to log that read on Boom Reader, which teachers will support with so that every child is taught how to log their reading. This will align years 3 and 4 with the expectations for reading at home already in place in years 5 and 6.
Children need to learn their spellings each week.
