Welcome to Year 4

Happy New Year! We hope that you have had a wonderful christmas celebrating with your families and friends. I am looking forward to hearing all about it! 

I am excited for the half term ahead and we have lots of fun things to learn. 

• In English, we will be reading 'Winters Child' by Angela McCallister and Graham Baker-Smith. We will be focusing on writing our own narratives, characters and dialogue. We will also be writing diary entries. 
• In Maths, we will be multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 and also learning about length and perimeter. 
• in History, we will be learning all about the Cotton Mill Industry and Industrial Manchester.
• In Science, we will be learning all about States of Matter.
• In Art, we will be learning to consolidate and further develop a variety of skills (drawing, painting, making) in a celebration of the ways food connects us, as families, cultures, and communities. 
• In Computing, we will be learning about Spreadsheets.
• In Music, MAPAS will be in school every week teaching us lots of new skills.
