St Joseph'sCatholic Primary & Nursery School
Autumn Term
English
This half-term, we are focusing on Ancient Egyptian myths and legends. We will be exploring a range of Pharaohs and Goddesses, with the aim to write our own Non-Chronological Report about them. Within this, we will improve our use of adjectives, adverbs, expanded noun phrases and conjunctions.
Maths
To begin our maths in Year 4, we are looking at Place Value, where we will learn how numbers up to 10,000 are created. We will learn how to partition numbers, how to place them on a number line, and how to write them using Roman Numerals.
RE
Our first topic is 'Creation and Covenant', where we will explore the roles of Abraham, Sarah and Isaac within the Bible. We will improve our skill to find scripture independently and include links in our writing, as well as acting out and drawing important Bible stories too. Please come and look in our class floor book to see more of our learning!
Humanities
This half-term, we are focusing on history. We will dive into how children's lives have changed over time, comparing children from the Tudor times and Victorian times, to our lives today. We will find out what they did for work, what diseases were spreading round, and what they did in their leisure times. It will be very interesting!
Jumping high over the hurdles in PE!
Mini Police - we have got our own police uniforms and look very smart in them too! We have learnt all about what the police are for, when we should and should not call 999, and the age of criminal responsibility. We were even lucky enough to look inside of a police van, and hear the sirens!
In music this term, we are learning about pulse and rhythm. We put this into action by singing and stamping our feet along to 'Mamma Mia'. We had a great time!
Tag rugby with PE specialist Mr Irish!
Improving our dictionary skills in English!
In RE, we acted out the story of Abraham and Sarah walking to Canaan.
