In year 4 we are taught by Mrs Woodey, Mrs Barker and Miss Stronach and we are supported by Miss Stoker and Miss Bilton. We are available every morning and evening on the gate if you need anything at all-we can’t wait to work with you and your children so please don’t hesitate to ask us anything.
Autumn Term
This term, we cannot wait to welcome the children into Year 4 and we have lots of exciting and engaging lessons planned. In science we will be learning about living things and their habitat! We will be investigating the 7 life processes, exploring skeletons and creating classification keys to identify different animals.
Our history topic is the Anglo-Saxons. We will be exploring how Anglo-Saxons came to Britain, who they were and how did they settle. We will also be investigating into King Alfred, and deciding if he was really great. To consolidate our learning we will be visiting St. Peter’s Church in Sunderland and finding out more about the Anglo-Saxons and their lives.
Our Art topic this term is William Morris. The children will look into who he was and the patterns and styles he created before designing their own printing block and creating their own art in the style of William Morris.

P.E will take place on a Wednesday. Please ensure your child has their full school P.E kit in school. If your child has their ears pierced please ensure these are removed for P.E sessions.
Home Reading
As a school, we expect the children to read at least 3 times per week and have their journal signed by an adult. Children should bring their reading book and journal into school daily so they have the opportunity to read with adults in school.
Children have an Accelerated Reader password and user name.
