Year 4 – Spring
Notes
Welcome back! I hope you’ve had a fantastic Christmas and enjoyed the break. The children have been doing great so far and I am so proud of all their achievements! We have a busy half term, with lots of fun things to learn.
Maths
English
This half term we will be focusing on fractions with a link to decimals. We will learn to recognise equivalent fractions, how to add and subtract fractions and how to convert between fraction amounts and decimals.
This half term the children will write in a variety of different styles, based around our topic Predators. We will start by researching a predator and writing a non-chronological report about it. Furthermore, the children will start reading ‘The Twits’ as their new class book .
Topic & Science
Science : Animals and Habitats
Topic: Predators is a science based topic with lots of opportunities for children to learn about animals and their environments. We will look at how these animals fit within food chain and food web. Furthermore, we will use computing and coding to generate our own predator and prey computer game.
