Welcome to Year 4, The Astronomers! I'm Mrs Bousfield.

We are all ready for one fantastic year so make sure to keep checking back to see what exciting projects we have planned!

This term in maths we will be focusing on place value and addition. Our learning will include recognising the value of numbers up to 4 digits, ordering and comparing numbers beyond 1000, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 and starting to add 4 digit numbers. 

In English, we will be writing to entertain, writing stories with a focus on our new book 'Oliver Twist'. We will also be trying our best to remember basic punctuation and spellings.

In our Friday science lessons, we will investigate the human body. We will be learning about how our bodies work and reflect on ways to keep it healthy. 

Our project question this half term has a creative focus and is: 'are we better than our ancestors' we will be looking at different periods of time and comparing this to our lives now.
