    Dear Parents and Carers,

    Welcome to Class 4!

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

    • English 📖 – We’ll be focusing on setting descriptions and non-chronological reports based on the texts The Storm Whale in Winter by Benji Davies and The Oak Tree by Julia Donaldson. We will also be looking at some festive poetry as we head towards Christmas! 

    • 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.
