Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Year 4!
Autumn Term
This term, Year 4 are exploring Ancient Rome. Through Mantle of the Expert, they will become Guardians of the State, Roman legionnaires and finally, take on the role of a member of the Iceni tribe, exploring the Roman Empire and those that fought its rule.
They will also be exploring the geography of Italy, looking at its human and physical features and comparing it with the United Kingdom. They will expand their knowledge of cities and countries throughout the continent of Europe.
In Literacy, we will be building our learning around the class reader, Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, and examining a range of poetry. We will be applying our comprehensive skills to expand our knowledge of the class reader.
In RE, we shall be looking at the themes of the Domestic Church, Baptism/Confirmation and Advent.
The children will also be starting their journey towards their Sacrament of First Holy Communion. Please get in touch with Father Chris or Mrs Potts for further information regarding this.
In Maths, we will be focusing on place value of 4-digit numbers, addition and subtraction, area, multiplication and division.
In Science, we will explore teeth & digestion, animals & humans and electricity. We will learn to work scientifically and take part in a variety of experiments.
Other exciting events include our Big Sleep Out for Caritas in school- stay tuned for more information about this!
The children are learning the ukulele every Monday afternoon with Mr Morris from MAPAS. This will culminate in a school performance for parents and carers at the end of the Autumn term.
