🌾 Year 4 Weekly Overview

Week of 10th - 14th November 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

Year 4 have had another fantastic week of learning!

On Tuesday, we visited the church to attend the Year 5 Remembrance Service. It was a moving and thoughtful occasion. The children showed great respect as they reflected on those who gave their lives to make our world a safer and better place.

On Friday, we took part in the Challenge 25 event for Children in Need. The children came up with some brilliant and creative ways to represent the number 25 and challenge themselves. We had 25 keepie-uppies, 25 spots, 25 Pudsey's, 25 paper chains, and even 25 balls potted on a pool table! The enthusiasm and teamwork were wonderful to see – great work, Year 4!

Next Thursday, we will be visiting the Wintershall Nativity at Bisham during the school day. The children are very excited about the upcoming trip!

Maths

This week in Maths, we explored number patterns and rules for multiplying and dividing by 9, 11, and 12. The children worked hard to spot patterns and apply these new rules to a range of questions.

English

In English, we researched factual information about foxes. Using our notes, the children practised forming clear and accurate sentences. We then began planning our own factual information texts about foxes, which we will be writing next week.

Science

In Science, we learned about the dangers of electricity and how to use it safely. The children showed excellent understanding of how to stay safe around electrical appliances and circuits.

Guided Reading

During Guided Reading, we continued developing our text retrieval skills. This week, we focused on how to formulate comprehension questions correctly, with a strong focus on oracy and discussing our ideas clearly.

Geography

In Geography, we continued our learning about Viking settlements, exploring Viking Jorvik, how Viking villages were organised, and the trade routes they used. The children were very enthusiastic and asked wonderful questions about Viking life.

It’s been a busy and exciting second week back. Well done, Year 4!

Warm regards,

Mrs Foy
