Curriculum Overview

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Block 5 in Year 4!

In English, pupils will explore Where the Forest Meets the sea by Jeannie Baker. The story emphasizes the beauty of nature and the importance of preserving it for future generations.

In Maths, children will focus on Fractions, Money and Time, developing confidence in calculating fractions, solving money problems and reading both analogue and digital clocks.

Our Humanities topic, Why are rainforests important to us? exploring their role in producing oxygen, regulating climate, and supporting diverse plant and animal species. In Science, we will study Habitats, learning how plants and animals depend on their environments.

Children have been allocated to either swimming or dance based on the preference indicated on the returned forms. Final allocations will be confirmed during Week 1 of Block 5.

Please note that pupils allocated to swimming are expected to participate fully in all sessions. If a child misses three swimming sessions, they will be reassigned to dance for the remainder of the term.

We look forward to another fantastic block and thank you for your continued support.

With warm wishes,
The Year 4 Team
