Year 4

In Year 4 we are looking forward to an exciting term of learning about the amazing achievements of the Romans! We will be exploring where and when the Roman Empire existed, what life was like for people and who were some famous people that lived during the times of the Roman Empire, such as Boudicca. We will also be considering how the Romans changed the world around them and identify some of the Roman ideas that we still use today. 

In English, our writing opportunities will be linked to a portal story, ‘Leon and the Place Between’: we will be exploring the features of a portal story and using this to write our own time-travelling adventures. 

In Maths, we will be learning about converting and comparing units of measure as well as coordinates. This will involve learning how to draw shapes on a grid, giving directions and moving shapes from one location to another. We will also be improving the speed of our times table recall. 

In Food Technology, we will be using our practical kitchen skills to plan and follow a recipe to recreate a Roman dish. We will also think about why sharing food and feasting was so important to the Romans. 

In Geography, we will be exploring where in the world earthquakes and volcanoes occur and thinking about the reasons for this. We will identify the tectonic plates around the world and learn how they play a part in volcanoes and earthquakes. We will learn how volcanoes form and what happens when they erupt. We will be visiting the Earthquakes and Volcanoes exhibition at the Natural History Museum. 

In Art, we will be taking inspiration from the remains found in the buried city of Pompeii to make our own clay pots and developing our understanding of the different ways that clay can be manipulated.  

In Personal Development, we will be learning about how we can look after ourselves and how our day-to-day choices can affect our long-term health.
