Welcome to Year 4!

Welcome back after the Summer Holidays and welcome to Year Four.

Well this is going to be an exciting year. We are looking forward to all the new and interesting things that we can find out together.

To start our year our topic theme is 'The Roman Legacy'. We are going to be very busy discovering why the Romans came to Britain, what happened while they were here and what they left behind. This will link into many other curriculum areas such as; maths, geography, computing and art. After half term we will be turning our focus to looking at how we can live more sustainably, considering our own lives and what we currently do as individuals and at home as a family to be more sustainable.

We can’t wait to get started on these new and exciting topics!
