Welcome to Autumn Term – Year 4

Welcome back Cherry Tree Class! I'm excited to begin a new school year together and are looking forward to a term filled with curiosity, discovery and plenty of opportunities to learn.

​

This term, we will be developing our Maths skills through place value, addition and subtraction, while continuing to strengthen our multiplication fluency in preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) in the summer term.

In English, we will explore Journey to Jo-Burg by Beverley Naidoo, developing our descriptive and creative writing skills while exploring themes of journey, fairness and justice. 

​

In Science, we will begin investigating digestion and healthy diets, making links between our bodies, nutrition and health.

Our Geography and History learning will take us on journeys through time and place, from exploring the Anglo-Saxons and how they shaped Britain, to developing our geographical understanding through map work and the settlement of the Anglo-Saxons.

Across Computing, Art, RE, PSHE and PE, we will continue to build new skills, ask thoughtful questions and make meaningful connections between our subjects.

​

Our Habit of Mind this term is Curiosity. We will encourage the children to ask questions, explore different perspectives, share ideas and take an active role in their learning.

​

We are excited for a fantastic autumn term and look forward to seeing Cherry Tree Class grow in confidence, independence and knowledge as we learn together.

​

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We look forward to a wonderful term ahead!
