Geography Topic focus: Fair Trade and understanding where our food comes from

English 

In English, our topic is understanding our food; what healthy food is and where it comes from. We will be writing our own instructions on how to make a healthy lunch, keeping a food diary, researching and creating our own reports on fair trade chocolate.

Maths 

This year we are continuing to use the fantastic Power Maths scheme in our maths lessons which covers the entire Year 4 curriculum.  This half term we are focussing on Place Value and Numbers to 1,000. 

We will also be practising times tables weekly and taking part in weekly Big Maths arithmetic and mental maths sessions.

Science 

Our science topic is ‘Sound’. We will be looking at how sound travels, how to change the sounds, what factors cause sounds to have a different pitch. We will investigate volume, pitch and how to measure sound.

PE

PE in Year 4 is on a Thursday afternoon. Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits.  

Homework

Spellings will be sent out through Ping each week (Monday) and will be tested the following Monday.

Reading books will be sent home each day and we expect that the children read for at least 10 minutes each day at home. Please ensure you are signing your child's homework diary daily when they have read. 

Children have their log-ins for Times Tables Rockstars and they should log in for 10 minutes each day.
