Week Beginning 8th September 2025

Welcome to Year 4. All the children have settled in really well and we are looking forward to starting our topic learning about Ancient Egypt.

Writing

We are learning a journey tale. We will look carefully at how dialogue is used in stories. We will learn to write speech that is correctly punctuated. 

Reading

We are starting our new class text ‘The Ancient Egyptian Sleepover’. We will predict what will happen in the story, look at key vocabulary and retrieve information. 

Maths

We will place numbers on a numberline. We will represent and partition numbers to 10,000, including flexible partitioning. 

Timestables

We are currently revising the facts the children learnt in Year 3. They should have accurate recall of 2xtable, 5xtable and square numbers (eg 4x4, 8x8)

PSHE

We will think about how it feels to be included or excluded in a group. We will discuss how to make people feel welcome. 

Computing

We will be learning about online safety. We will learn how to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact.

History

We will be discussing what we already know about Ancient Egypt. 

RE

We are looking at Christianity. We will think about what a covenant is. We will find out what promise God made to Noah.
