Year Four - Autumn 2024
Autumn Term 2024
Welcome back to school and into year 4.
We start off the year with a growth mindset key text. This year we are using Flight School by Lita Judge to support our learning and create a sequel of this book in English.
We then continue our learning about the Vikings using Loki and the bad god's guide to being good by Louie Stowell. We will use this to support our history focus this term with many exciting things to learn. We will also be looking at Arthur and the Golden Rope during reciprocol reading sessions to further our learning and develop our comprehension and reading skills.
Year 4 will also be having forest school sessions throughout this term, Robin class will be before half term and Doves is split into two halves (an email has been sent to those parents with more information.)
We are holding a 'Meet the Teacher' session on Tuesday 10th September @2:45pm. If you are unable to make the session the slides and information can be found by clicking here.
