Dear Year, 4 Parents and Carers, 

The children have enjoyed using visualisers to magnify pictures of animals in the rainforest which have enabled them to create a detailed sketch and oil pastel painting. They have also enjoyed experimenting in Science to further our understanding of the states of matter. 

Year 4 Teachers

English: In English, we will finish writing our information text for London Landmarks and then writing our own information text about Eastwick. 

Foundation: In RE, we are going to be understanding how belonging or being welcomed into a group help us to develop an identity. In PSHE, we will be using the skills and vocabulary to share their thoughts, ideas, opinions on discussion about topical issues. In History, we are learning about the ‘Romanisation’ of Britain. In science, will be observing some materials changing state when they are heated or cooled, by exploring how water can change its state to a solid, liquid or a gas.
