Curriculum
Our topic this term is 'Explosive Planet!' This is an exciting topic looking at the structure of our planet to understand why we get volcanoes and earthquakes. Children will use a map of the world to locate where major earthquakes and volcanoes occur and how these can affect settlements and the people living near them in geography. In science, we will look and compare different rocks and try to group them. We will then explore how soil is formed from rocks to include the formation of fossils.
English
In English, children will be writing a non-chronological report to describe what volcanoes and earthquakes are and the effect they have on settlements, with the help of their geographical knowledge
Maths
In September, we will be visiting place value where the children will be recapping their Y3 place value skills before moving onto the Year 4 skills.
Reading: Please continue to read daily, even for 10 minutes, and complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly.
Maths Passport: Regular practise of Maths Passport targets helps pupils to retain knowledge and helps them to utilise these facts in other mathematical learning.
Times Tables: It is important for all pupils to be learning timetables up to the 12 times table and know these by the end of year 4.
