Autumn Term

In Year 4 we are excited to be spending our English lessons exploring ‘Billy and the Minpins’ by Roald Dahl, we are listening to the adventure Billy goes on, into the Forest of Sin. Using sensational sentences in our writing we will learn how to include subordinating conjunctions and fronted adverbials to create fabulous descriptions of the forest and the monsters within. In whole class reading Year 4 are diving into ‘The Witches’ to explore another story written by Roald Dahl, followed by delving into ‘Paddington’. We will use these books to undertake a range of guided reading tasks related to our reading dogs such as: Retrieval Rex, Vocabulary Victor, Prediction Pip, Summarising Sheba and Inference Iggy.

We are excited to be looking ‘Through the Window’ in our first geography topic in our Theme lessons. We will find out about our local area using maps and compasses to create our own maps. Later on we will have the opportunity to extend our knowledge of physical and human geographical features that can be found in our local area. In our science lessons we are also using our local area, but to explore living things, understanding the characteristics for life and how living things adapt to their habitat. We will learn how to classify living things after under taking a closer inspection of those things living close by to our school.
