Year 4
Welcome to Year 4!
Our Spring Term topic is
Island Explorers
Welcome back to school and happy new year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break and you are ready for the exciting year ahead.
In our geography lessons, we will compare the United Kingdom with Iceland, looking at the geographical features of both. Iceland's stunning landscapes were forged by the processes of volcanism including rift valleys, geysers, hot springs, rhyolite mountains, basalt formations, lava fields and lunar-like craters. Through this topic we will look at the effect that climate change has had on these environments and the animals that depend on it for their survival.
Texts for this term
Linking with our theme, this term's key text, The Song of The Dolphin Boy by Elizabeth Laird, will give us an insight into the impact of plastic pollution on our seas.

For World Kindness Day and Anti-bullying Week, year 4 presented an assembly encouraging children to make a stand against bullying and to choose respect and unity. In class we held discussions about the importance of celebrating differences and thought about the different ways in which we can show kindness to one another.
In our English lessons, we explored how bullying makes people feel and wrote emotive poems from the perspective of a victim of bullying.
