Welcome to Year 4!
Welcome to Year Four!
This is an exciting year with children developing their confidence, deepening their learning and developing their faith and understanding of the world around them. We also have a lot of fun!
English
We will develop our reading fluency across a range of texts, identifying key ideas and discussing how authors create meaning. Our writing will become more creative with richer vocabulary and more accurate spelling and punctuation.
Maths
We will develop a range of strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. We will also start to interpret simple fractions, measure length, time, and area, recognise common shapes, and use data displays to read and interpret information. A big focus in the Multiplication Check which will take place in June. Children will focus on practicing their times tables using:
Times Tables Rockstars (children will be given their own login details)
Science
We will investigate question about the world around us, make predictions, observe changes and record findings using simple scientific methods. Our topics include:
- Sound
- Animals including Humans
- Electricity
- States of Matter
- Living Things
History
We will describe how people, places, and events from the past have shaped communities and daily life today. They learn to ask questions, examine sources, sequence events, and compare different perspectives, developing a stronger understanding of how history helps us make sense of the world. Our topics include:
- Ancient Egypt
- Romans
- The Plague
Geography
We will identify and describe key features of places, including environments, climate and how people interact with them. We will use Digimap to help us read maps and interpret geographical data. Our topics include:
- Maps

RE
Following the Religious Education Directory, we will explain key teachings of Jesus, recognise how Scripture guides our choices, and describe the significance of prayer, sacraments, and Church life. We will learn to make links between faith and daily living, show respect for others, and understand how Christians are called to love, serve, and follow Christ.
Other Subjects
In addition to the subjects listed above, we will explore our creativity through art, design and technology, and music, developing practical skills and confidence in expressing our ideas. We will build physical fitness and teamwork in PE, learn to care for ourselves and others through PSHE, and continue to develop our understanding of the structure and vocabulary of Latin.
