Welcome to Class Four

Autumn 2 2025

Welcome back to Class 4! 

We hope you had a wonderful half term break and are excited to get started with all of the new challenges we will face in the lead up to Christmas.

The overarching theme for this year in RE is the Eucharist. Our focus for this half-term is Prophecy and Promise. We will be focusing on the season of Advent as a time of preparation for the coming of Jesus. In previous years, songs/hymns/prayers will have focused on Mary, the angel, Nativity and the Magnificat as well as preparing for the coming of Jesus at Advent.  In Y4, we will progress to include prayers about Jesus and his ancestry (Jesse Tree), Jesus as descendent of King David and King of Kings (Christ the King) as well as Jesus’ 2nd coming (Nicene Creed). 

Our English lessons will be based around a range of fantastic books. We don't want to spoil the surprise and reveal the titles just yet as lots of predictions involved!

In Maths, for this half term we will be focusing on: Fractions and decimals; addition Measures; data; Subtraction; Multiplication & Division 

 This half term will have a Geography focus and we will be considering the question, 'Why do so many people in the world live in megacities?'. This investigation supports pupils to develop their understanding of the important geographical concepts of settlement and urbanisation through the study of the world’s megacities (cities with a population of over 10 million). 

Our Science topic is "Sound' and we will be focusing on some of the links to music and entertainment. For more information, see the knowledge organiser below.

Please check the class page and Instagram regularly for updates and photographs of what we have been getting up to in class. 

Our core aim in Class 4 is that your child's time in school is enjoyable, exciting and full of enriching learning experiences designed to put a smile on their faces :)

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask at the school door or email [email protected]

Let's work together to make this a fantastic year for the children in Year 4!

Many thanks

 Keep smiling!

The Year 4 Team
