Autumn 1

Our Learning Journey for this term is a Science and Geography topic called 'Where do the rivers go?'. The children will be learning about solids, liquids and gases, the water cycle and rivers. Our English will be tied to this and we will be reading a wonderful story all about the Water Cycle called Rhythm of the Rain. In maths, we will be getting to grips with place value and our understanding of number. We will also be creating some wonderful watercolour paintings in art, again linked to the concept of rivers and the water cycle.

If you have any questions about your child's time in Year 4 then please don't hesitate to get in contact with us via Class Dojo or through the school office.
