Year 4

Weekly Update - Friday 26th September 2025

Summary of this week:

Year 4 have had a tricky week of Maths learning, exploring how to round to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. In English, we have started our new model text “How to survive in the wild”, unpicked features of instruction texts and learnt about effective use of adverbs. In Art, we made collages from different black and white images, layering them up to create abstract pictures.

Our learning next week:

Maths:  We will be exploring how to add large numbers with renaming.

English: We will be learning about “Factual” adjectives and then planning our own instruction texts about how to build a shelter in the wild.

Reading: We will be planning and writing our own versions of the poem “The Magic Box”.

Foundation:  

In History, we will be exploring what types of food the Ancient Mayans used to eat and why these were significant.

In Art, we will be making collages from a range of food wrappers, exploring which colours and shapes grab our attention.

In Computing, we will be exploring “What is a bot?” and then designing our own class bots.
In PSHE, we will be learning about rewards and consequences.
In RE, we will be exploring – “Do people need to go to church to show they are Christians?”

In Science, we will be continuing to classify plants into different groups.

In PE, we will be doing Dance: Soccerjam with Mrs Line and Football with the PE Coaches.

Homework:

Maths

The Maths homework sheet will be stuck into books and given out on Tuesdays – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.

Spelling

Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.

Notices & Reminders:

A plea to send in any crisp packets or chocolate/ sweet wrappers for Monday’s art lesson. We will be cutting up and making collages from the wrappers, so we do need quite a few! See image below for ideas:

Miss Bullock, Mrs Secker, Mrs McKenzie and Mrs Milner.
