Year 4

In English we will be writing ‘Portal Stories’ where the main characters transport from one place to another. To fuel our imaginations, we will be reading a short story called ‘Leon and the Place Between’ along with other extracts. We will also be writing detailed instructions on how to prepare a Roman feast linking to our Food Technology and History lessons.

In Maths we will be learning all about numbers less than one in the context of fractions and decimals. We will be spending time every day practising times tables ready for the Multiplication Check in June and to support with using formal methods for multiplication and division. If your child is already confident with times tables up to 12x12, they will be exploring investigations and reasoning problems linked to multiplication.

Our Science topic is ‘Sound’. We will be exploring how vibrations produce sound, how the strength of a vibration affects a sound, which materials sound can travel through and how different pitches of sound are produced. 

In History we will learn about how life in Britain was impacted by the Romans, about notable figures such as Septimus Severus and visit the British Museum. 

In RE our focus will be on festivals celebrated in Judaism including Passover.

In Personal Develpment we will be learning about how we can look after ourselves and how our day-to-day choices can affect our long-term health.
