English
During our English lessons throughout the Summer term, Year Four will be focusing on persuasive writing in an advert and an autobiography in non-fiction writing and an adventure story in fiction writing.
Throughout all lessons, we will continue to reinforce and develop the use of accurate punctuation and grammar alongside a focus upon the Year 3/4 statutory spelling list (which can be found in the documents). Chlidren can log onto spelling shed at home to practise their spellings www.edshed.com
Reading
During the Summer term, Year Four will study the text 'Land of Roar' by Jenny McLachlain. We will focus upon the core reading skills of vocabulary, inference, predicition, explanation, retrieval and summary.
The children will also take home their own reading book from school based upon their ZPD level. We encourage the children to read every day, whether this be independently or through shared experiences, across a range of text types to support their confidence, fluency and exposure to vocabulary.
Maths
As a school, we follow the Power Maths scheme and the units we cover are outlined in our curriculum overview. These units support the children in developing problem solving and reasoning skills as well as the ability to explain and justify their answers using manipulatives where necessary. In addition to this, we complete a daily 5 in 5 (five questions to test the retrieval of mathematical learning) and TTRockstars to help build confidence, fluency and accuracy within the subject.
Curriculum
During the Spring term, the children will study a variety of interesting units in our wider curriculum which are outlined in our curriculum overview.
Art - the children will create sculptures in the style of Henry Moore.
History - we will study the Victorians
Geography - the children will study the country of Canada
Design and Technology - the children will design and make a torch
Science - the children study electricity and food chains
