Year 4 Yearly Overview 24-25
Autumn Term
This term, we are studying the period of history covering the Anglo-Saxons and then into the Viking Period. We will be looking at the impact on the country of all of the invaders and settlers.
In Science, we are looking at states of matter. We will be carrying out experiments to find the properties of each state and how materials can change states.
We will be studying the legend of Beowulf in English during the first half term, comparing different versions of the story including ones by Brian Patten, Michael Morpurgo and Charles Keeping.
Listen To Me Lessons
On Thursday mornings we have Mrs Prest, a teacher from Hampshire Music Service, come in to teach us - over the year we will have learnt to play three different instruments!
This term we are starting by learning to play keyboards. We will be performing a concert to our parents on Thursday 5th December at 10 a.m. in the school hall.
In Year 4 we focus on making sure we all know our Times Tables. Don't forget to log in regularly and complete a soundcheck game so that you can keep an eye on your progress and aim for the next certificate level!
