Year 4 News
Thu 21 May 2026This week Year 4 have been doing lots of learning around the Journey of Life as part of our RE unit. We have looked at why life is considered to be a journey, key milestones and beliefs about what different religions believe happens after death as well as discussing our own personal responses and beliefs. We have also done lots of learning in our Changing Me unit of PSHE, looking at changes that we go through in life. In Science, we have bee making circuits and testing materials to see if they are electrical conductors or electrical insulators and in Topic, we have looked at who ruled after the Anglo-Saxon and Viking era and discussed who we felt had the strongest claim to the throne! We hope you have a lovely half-term, remember to keep practising your times tables as the Multiplication Tables Check starts the first week back! You can also find your spellings here to practise for the first Friday back. Take care, Year 4.

Our Fairtrade unit has come to an end with the children showing some real understanding when completing their end of unit assessment. Enjoy the predicted good weather over half term everyone and we’ll see you refreshed all in a week.
