Summer Term 2  2021
Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome back to the second half of the summer term Year 4!  I hope that you have all had a lovely break and are feeling ready and excited for this final half term.

Our new Cornerstones project is called ‘Traders and Raiders’. We will be working as historians to learn about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings as we explore key events that took place in Britain between AD 410 and 1066.

Reading continues to be an important part of the day.  Please ensure that you read at home daily and that this is recorded in your reading record. Please ensure that your reading book and reading record are brought into school every day.

As writers, we will complete our non-fiction unit on explanation texts, writing our own with the aim of helping someone to understand a process or why something is, or has happened. We will then move onto fictional writing –  learning a new model text before innovating and creating our own warning tales with a focus on description and vocabulary.

As mathematicians, we will revisit multiplication and division and learn about time and geometry.

All PE will continue to be taught outside. Please make sure that you have a full outdoor PE kit and a water bottle in school every day.

Please remember to check the Home Learning section every Friday to practise your spellings and maths facts for your tests the following week.
