Over the course of the year, we will be covering a wide range of topics in our Humanities lessons. In Geography, we will focus on: 'Rainforests'. We will learn about climate zones, biomes and the layers of the rainforest. This learning will be reinforced with a visit to 'The Living Rainforest'. We will also be using our geographical skills to study ‘Rivers and Coasts’ and we will visit the Jubilee River to learn about its purpose and identify key features of the river. In History we will learn about 'Roman Britain' and how life in Britain changed as a result of the invasion and settlement of the Romans. We will also learn about the Greeks and their achievements in ancient history. In Science, we will be looking at how we classify living things according to different characteristics. We will also study animals, including humans, and focus on the digestive system; states of matter to focus on the relationship between solids, liquids and gases; sound and electricity.
This year, we will be going on the following trips: The Living Rainforest, The Science Museum and a walk to the Jubilee River.
A key focus for Year 4 children is times tables. Children will sit their Multiplication Check in June and will be learning and revising their times tables in preparation for this. Useful websites to support you with times tables at home include:

We look forward to working with you to support the learning of our children.
