Happy near year!

Welcome back year 4, we hope you had a fun and relaxing Christmas holidays and are ready to get back into learning!

Our literacy topic is going to be myths, leading up to us writing our own myths! We are going to be looking at Pandora’s Box, the Mayan Twins and other exciting ones.

In numeracy, we have a focus on word problems and how to work out which operation to use. We will then be looking at working with non-unit fractions using all the operations.

Our new topic this half term is Living Things and their Habitats. This is an exciting new topic as we will be looking at the different life processes, classification and will also do our own habitat survey!

In RE this week, we will be learning about the life of St Basil and why he is an important figure in the Orthodox Religion. We will also be looking at Theophany and why it is an important feast day, specifically discussing what the icon symbolises.

The spellings for the week are:

Haven’t

Couldn’t

Forgotten

Gardening

Decision

Action

Expression

Permission
