Year 4

Dear Parent/Carer,

Happy New Year.

 

Science Year 4

Changes of state. They learn that some materials can exist in different states. Children will have developed their ideas about states of matter and changes of state which can be reversed. They will have used their understanding to describe and explain familiar phenomena. They will have observed that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled and they will have had the opportunity to measure or research the temperature at which this happens expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). They will have had the opportunity to investigate how materials can be changed by heating and cooling and will have investigated melting and freezing in everyday situations

PE

Year 4

In PE we will be doing Dodgeball and Dance PE will be on Monday afternoon and Thursday this term. Please ensure your child has PE kit on these days.

French

 

Year 4

We will learn days of the week and months of the year, enabling the children to talk about dates and birthdays. The children will be introduced to some simple verbs in the infinitive form and learn that verbs change depending on the subject – just as they do in English.

Topic  –  Ancient Greece – a study of Greek life and achievements and their influence on the western world


Homework

A homework sheet will come home with your child for this half term. Choose one item to do each week. Reading books will be changed on the following days

Monday – Buckden

Tuesdays –  Ingleborough

Wednesday – Pen-Y- Ghent

Thursday – Whernside

Ideally, we would recommend that you read with your child as often as possible and at least 3 times a week. Spellings will be sent home on a Friday and tested the following Friday.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warmest regards

The 4 team
