Year 4
In English we will be reading a short story called ‘Escape from Pompeii’ and using this as inspiration to write letters in the role of someone who has escaped a natural disaster. We will then be writing stories full of suspense, using dialogue and carefully selected language to keep the reader on their toes! Alongside our letter and story writing, we will be developing editing skills and improving the fluency of our joined handwriting.
In Maths we will be learning how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 then use these skills to convert measurements and solve problems involving known number facts. We will be solving problems involving money and continuing to use reasoning to explain our methods. We will continue to practise our times tables, using a variety of methods to ensure we have a solid understanding and can use what we know help us divide.
In our Science we will be practising how to carry out a well-planned and fair investigation drawing upon the Scientific topics we studied in Year 3 and Year 4 so far. We will be analysing data collected and suggesting ways in which the investigations could be improved.
In History and Geography we will learn about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD and find out how volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis are caused.
In RE our focus will be on ‘Humanism’ and how people who are not religious choose and show their values.
In Music, on the ukulele, we will be beginning to learn chords on the Ukulele and continuing to improve our musicality by singing together..
