Year 4
Summer term
Welcome back!
I am excited to continue working with you and your child to make this last term enjoyable and productive.
The Year 4 team remains the same:
- Class Teacher: Miss Atkinson and Miss Southgate
- Class LSAs: Mrs Bodi
- PPA cover: Miss Pope
Below, you’ll find a sample copy of our weekly timetable. While we aim to stick to it, occasional changes may happen to accommodate Miss Southgate’s teacher training sessions, special activities or events.
Geography (Summer Term 1): In Geography the children will be looking at Settlements and whether or not all settlements are the same.
Science: Our topics for this term include all things Sound and vibrations as well as Electricity where the children will be creating their own circuits.
English: During our English lessons we will be exploring Krinklekrax with the writing focus of narrative with dialogue and The boy at the back of the class with the writing focus on persuasion letters.
Maths: Many topics will be covered for math including Money, Time and decimals. We will also be having a real push for our times table up to 12x12 as out MTC check will be administered this term.
RE: This term we will be looking at the questions ‘what symbols and stories help Jewish people remember their covenant with God?’ Then the children will be exploring the question ‘How do Sikhs put their beliefs about equality into practice?’
History (Summer Term 2): Throughout our history lessons the children will be exploring the Anglo Saxons. They will think about why the Anglos Saxons travelled to England, as well as how they kept control of the 7 different kingdoms.
Art (Summer term 2): The children will be putting their Sketching and painting skills to use, learning how to use white and black for tonal work with increased accuracy.
DT (Summer term 1): We will be looking at the digital world and then using the microbits to create a mindful moment timer.

As always, we’re here to support you. Feel free to catch us at the classroom door before or after school for any quick queries. For more in-depth discussions, we’re happy to arrange a meeting.
Let’s continue working together to help your child achieve their goals and 'dream big' this term!
