Year 4 - Holly Crofts
Welcome to Year 4, Holly Crofts. Our teachers are Mrs Birley and Mrs Woodward. Mrs Birley teaches us on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning and Mrs Woodward teaches us on a Thursday and Friday. Mrs Williams is our Learning Support Assistant.
We have an amazing action-packed year ahead. The main topics which unpin our learning across the year are:
- Autumn Term- Ancient Egypt
- Spring Term – The Romans
- Summer Term – Rainforests
Our year starts with Ancient Egypt, where we will learn about this ancient civilisation, facts about mummification, the use of hieroglyphics and some important historical rituals. We will then move onto the Romans, where we will be fascinated by some of the amazing things the Romans achieved and how they helped to shape our world today. Then our final In Summer, we learn all about Rainforests, where we learn about the many eco-systems and communities they support.
This year, we continue to build up our writing skills to help us become confident and fluent writers. All children write in pen in Year 4, and will learn how use paragraphs, dialogue, fronted adverbials phrases whilst developing their handwriting, spelling, punctuation and grammar skills.
Maths will see us becoming confident with 4-digit numbers, with a continued focus on the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The children will take the national MTC test in the summer term, (Multiplication Times Table Check) so times tables will have a high priority all year.
The Year 4 residential to Woodrow is booked for 22nd – 24th March, which will be an amazing opportunity for us to take part in some new and exciting activities which will develop our teamwork, resilience and perseverance skills in a different environment.
This year, we will live out our FRESH vision with a varied, fascinating and rounded curriculum in Year 4 this year. This year promises to be fun and packed with learning opportunities….are you ready? Let’s go!
