Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Class 4!

Here’s a look at what your child will be exploring this half-term:

  • Maths 🔢 – We will continue to develop our maths skills by looking at time, money and fractions.

  • Science 🔬 – We’ll be learning all about the uses of everyday materials and their properties. 

  • PE 🤸 – This half-term we’ll focus on gymnastics and ball skills.

  • RE 🕉️ – We talking about Christianity (Jesus) and thinking about why Christians say that Jesus is the “light of the world”?

  • Geography - We'll be finding out about the weather and seasons and thinking about why weather is different across the year.

  • DT - We will be learning about mechanisms and making a moving story book! 

  • 🧠 PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education)
    Our theme this half term is Valuing Difference.

  • Music 🎶 – We’ll be singing and performing Christmas music.

  • Computing 💻 – We'll be learning about IT Around Us

We can’t wait to explore these topics together and see the children’s enthusiasm for learning shine through. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
