Term 1
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question ‘What are the climate zones and how do they impact their inhabitants?’ In literacy, we have retold the text ‘Hodgeheg’ by D. K. Smith. We innovated the story changing the character and setting. We then went on to writing non-chronological report about different climate zones.

In maths, the children enjoyed exploring place value up to 10,000 including the formal methods of addition and subtraction. In the wider curriculum, we have been learning about the different climate zones thinking about the animals, plants and people who live there. In DT, we have researched, designed and made money containers. Finally, in PE, we have been working on our samba skills in dance!

Term 2 
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question 'Is the water we drink today the same water that Dinosaurs drank millions of years ago?' We have been learning all about the water cycle and exploring various different states of matters. The children have enjoyed taking part in a range of different science experiments.  In literacy, we have been exploring the icy world of Starjik which included solving the mystery of the missing boy and inventing a different ending to the story the 'Ice Palace'. We have also been studying discussion texts including whether we should wear school uniform to school or not. The children enjoyed exploring different people's views and opinions.
