Year 4 Autumn curriculum Overview
Year 4 Autumn Term Spelling Overviews
AUTUMN 2
READING:
In Autumn 2, our 5 Reads books that we read in story time each day are:
Our reading lessons (Pathways to Write) in Autumn 2 are all based around the book 'The Train to Impossible Places' by PG Bell
WRITING:
In English lessons, all of our writing lessons (Pathways to Write) are based on one of our Five Reads 'Leon and the Place Between'.
There are lots of different writing opportunties to enable children to learn and use the mastery keys for Year 4. We will be writing descriptions of settings using expanded noun phrases and a range of conjunctions. We will be writing diary entries using the mastery keys.
PHOTOGRAPHS
Take a look at what we have been up to this half term.
SCIENCE - Observing over time.
We carried out an experiment to see what happens to the temperature of water if left over time. We measured the temperature of warm water and cold water every 5 minutes to see what would happen. We had to use equipment to take accurate measurements and record timings.
ENGLISH AND PE - circus skills
Our new book in English is all about children visiting a circus. Our classroom was set up with a circus theme and, in our first PE lesson, we practised a range of different circus skills. We balanced, juggled, spun plates and used hula hoops. We had a great time.
