Marton & District C E Aided Primary School

 Welcome to the Summer Term – Year 4

Welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely break and are ready for a busy and exciting summer term in Year 4.

We have some fantastic topics planned across the curriculum. In History, we will be exploring Ancient Greece, where children will develop their understanding of timelines and learn about the impact this civilisation has had on the world.

In English, we will be writing non-chronological reports about the Hydra—a mythical creature with nine heads—as well as creating a scientific explanation text.

In Geography, we will be learning about our local area and developing our understanding of the environment around us.

In RE, we will be exploring different places of worship and learning about their importance in various religions.

Our Art lessons will focus on sculpture, giving children the opportunity to create their own 3D pieces, while in DT, we will be learning about healthy eating and designing and making our own healthy sandwiches.

We are looking forward to a fun and productive term ahead!

SPRING TERM

This term in Year 4, our main topic is Greece and Volcanoes, with a strong focus on developing geographical skills such as using maps, atlases and comparing locations. In English, we will be editing and improving our writing to make it more accurate and engaging. In maths, we are working hard to become fluent in our times tables, so please continue to support your child by using TT Rock Stars at home, as this will help prepare them for the Multiplication Check in June. In art, we will be creating our own sketchbooks, while in science we will be learning about sound and electricity. In DT, the children will design and make their own Greek-inspired structures.
