Year 4
Please support in ensuring your child reads at least 5x a week and encouraging them to use Doodle regularly at home.
Homework will be sent out on a Thursday, to be marked together as a class the following week.
Autumn 1
Equality vs Equity
This project is aimed at reigniting children’s enthusiasm for reading and writing, using Roald Dahl as our inspiring author. Year 4 will explore the renowned children’s book, ‘Charlie and The Chocolate Factory’, by Roald Dahl. Focusing on the Manor Field attribute ‘confidence’ along with the importance of being ‘principled fruits’, the children will become familiar with Roald Dahl’s classic characters and the choices that they make during the story, including the consequences of these behaviour choices, and whether they are principled and rights-respecting. They will discuss and reach their own conclusions about which of the characters deserve to inherit the factory, debating our central idea: ‘Only principled children deserve rewards.’
Autumn 2
Relocation, Relocation
During our History-led topic this half-term, the children will explore the impact the Anglo Saxons had on Britain today, answering the key question: Were the Anglo-Saxons the ruin of Britain? Throughout the topic, there will be many opportunities for children to be resilient, curious and reflective about how the Anglo-Saxons lived. Children will develop their understanding of chronology by placing key historical dates and periods of history they have studied. We will be using our knowledge of the Anglo Saxons to write an encyclopaedia extract that will be collated together to form a book. Within English, we will also complete a book study on a text called Moving looking at our wider concept of relocation.
This half term, there will be a large focus on PSHE. During this, we will be focusing on key social and emotional skills which the children encounter on a daily basis.
