Watch us sparkle.
Each individual in Year 4 brings sparkle and shine to our busy classrooms. We aim to provide a creative curriculum which caters for all children whilst nurturing, inspiring and generating curiosity in our learners.
Autumn
In the Autumn Term 1, we will be finding our all about Charles Darwin and his explorations on the HMS Beagle. The children will be able to demonstrate their historical knowledge of exploration and investigation through creative writing opportunities. The children will understand how Charles Darwin has impacted on our lives today and imagine what it may have been like to live during that historical period.

In Autumn 2 the children become geographers and look at how the physical and human features of Brazil and the UK differ. In DT the children will be thinking about Fairtrade means and designing their own chocolate bar wrapper.
Spring
During this topic the children will describe and understand key aspects of physical geography, including climate zones. They will use atlases to locate Africa in relation to other countries around the world. Within Science, the children will be able to identify common appliances that run on electricity and construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers. They will investigate to see if a lamp will light in a simple series circuit based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery.
Summer
In Spring 2 and Summer 1, we learn about the Romans and what impact they have had on our lives today. The children will consider and research the aspects of the Roman Empire, such as their life style and the army. We also look at the weapons they used at war and how they overcome their enemies.
In Summer 2, we learn about the Vikings, when they will be taught about the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor.
The Curriculum
PHSE is taught and modelled throughout the year, with online safety at the forefront of our minds.
