HERE COMES THE SUMMER - YEAR FOUR
OUR CORE INTENTION IN ACTION
Take a look at the page below, including our curriculum project posters and mats, and download copies at the base of the page.
As the weather has improved and the nights become lighter, we have opened a fabulous term of learning in Year 4.
Our English projects have drawn inspiration from Francis Drake's expeditions for our diary writing and our discussion piece. We then moved on a real favourite with our Super Chocs persuasive poster project. Again, sentence structure was a major driver for our writing, focusing hard upon using sentences for effect. These ranged from complex sentences for further information to simple 'snappy' sentences for impact.
Continually building our mathematical understanding, recognising hundredths and their value, a major timestable focus and division inverses has run across the year and conversions between units of measurements has been a constant factor. Fraction and decimal equivalence and plotting points on grids have also been key areas in Mathematics. Electricity Part 1 and changing state when heating and cooling have provided the projects in Science. Investigative science has really been at the forefront of our work here.
The Power & The Rose is a project we all love. The Tudors is such an exciting period of British history and a real favourite. We have looked at structures across the world during our region study in Geography work, comparing great, and notable local structures like Blackpool Tower and the four piers on our coastline with other such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. We have looked at prayer during our Religious Education studies, whilst considering the significance of Psalms.
Creating and controlling a storyboard linked to the Tudors has been the focus in Computing. Elsewhere within 'communication', we have introduced vocabulary for 'my home' and 'the classroom' during our French projects.
Tudor Rose block prints have been our printing focus during Art & Design. whilst studying the work of M.C.Escher. An Elizabethan banquet has been the food and diet focus for our Design & Technology studies. Music is our composing focus during Spring Term: creating an accompaniment called Egyptian Dawn. Athletics and netball based sport specific and motor competence skills have been the projects undertaken in Physical Education.
Across the term, establishing online protocols during E-Safety, setting aspirations and dreams and economic well being have been some of the key themes we have considered in our My Happy Mind/PSHE & Relationships work.
