In Year 4, we become experts at our times tables in maths and we develop our love of reading, especially Roald Dahl books. We build on our writing targets from Year 3 and by the time we leave Year 4, we can use varied punctuation, a range of conjunctions and we know how to join our handwriting. In Science, we find out about teeth and the digestive system, electrical circuits, sound, states of matter, the water cycle and learn how to create classification keys to identify living things. The Shang Dynasty, Ancient Greece and the Romans are our history topics. In Geography, we learn about hemispheres, tropics and poles as well as Europe and all about rivers. To find out about what we learn in other subjects, click on our long term plan below. We think Year 4 is particularly special because we go to Carlton Lodge on our first residential visit….and return with increasing independence.
