Year 4
Year 4 Long Term Plan 2022-2023
Meet the teacher September 2022
| Welcome to Fantastic Year 4 |
| Hello and welcome to our Class Page where you will find important information alongside our amazing achievements. In the Spring term, in English we will be exploring the book The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. In Maths, we will be focusing on Decimals and Money. In History, we will be investigating what happened when the Romans left Britain and during Science, we will be looking at States of Matter. We will also be participating in some Piece of Mind sessions and enjoying Fitness and Athletics in PE. Please note our PE days this term are a Monday and a Wednesday. |
We visited Rainton Meadows where we went on a mini-beast hunt, went pond dipping and followed a trail to find out facts about various animals and their habitats. We also compared these habitats and discussed why they are important for the flora and fauna that live there. Thank you to John who shared his expertise with us - we really enjoyed it!
We enjoyed playing Endzone all morning today. Thank you for our Year 6 Sports leaders for helping.
In our last Confidence and Resilience session, we explored positives about ourselves, challenges we wish to give a go and how we can overcome a 'failure' and turn it into a 'success'. We also looked at positive affirmations and thought of some we can say to ourselves every day! Thank you, Kate, for working with us - we really enjoyed our time with you.
We all did a fantastic job at Quad kids. Well Done to Jay, Fraser, Alexander, Holly and Maddie who all came away with medals!
In our second Confidence Session led by Kate from the Piece of Mind team, we explored what resilience was and how to build our resilience up in stressful situations.
In Science, we investigated what the best way is to melt chocolate to help Willy Wonka who wanted a chocolate river. We melted the chocolate in different ways and used thermometers to measure the temperature of the chocolate.
Enterprise Day!
We had a fantastic day exploring the nation and identifying key landmarks. We then investigated what characteristics and skills were required for different jobs and whether there were any skills needed for all jobs. We also looked at budgeting and how we can save money, with a focus on helping save the environment as well. We then created our own companies where we had to make and sell our own bracelets keeping our costings in mind and how to help the environment such as, re-using the beads bags.
We had our first Confidence session today delivered by Kate from the Piece of Mind team. We explored what confidence means, discussed what our own strengths are and thought about how we have used our strengths. We also looked at things that we are good at.
We really enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt led and organised by the PTA. Thank you for the fun and our treats!
In Science, we have been investigating if gases weigh anything. Ask us about our results!
For World Book Day we completed various activities based around How to Train Your Dragon. We read part of the book, completed a reading comprehension, a mini dictionary hunt and made our own paper cup dragons. We also dressed up in our favourite book characters -it was a really fun day!
We have been looking at Safer internet Day this week and in English we created our own dramas based on Cyberbullying which we performed, with some great acting skills, on stage.
