Spring term 2024

Welcome back Year 4!

I hope you all had a rest over the Christmas break and are looking forward to all the amazing learning we will be doing this term!

We are starting off the half term with 2 new books in English, 'The Firework Maker's Daughter' and 'Winter's Child'. In geography this half term, we will be learning about rainforests, with a particular focus on the Amazon. In maths, we will continue to practise methods for the 4 operations, as well as deepening our understanding of fractions and shape. 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch!
