Welcome to

Year 4!

Mrs Boyce, Mrs Donkin and Mrs Kovacs

Summer 1

Are all settlements the same?

Year 4 will be exploring both the United Kingdom and a contrasting location overseas. The children will begin by locating major UK cities and learning to distinguish between villages, towns and cities. They will develop their map‑reading skills by identifying features on Ordnance Survey maps using the legend, following routes, and discussing different types of land use. As part of this work, they will also explore reasons why certain human and physical features are found in particular locations and consider how aspects of our local area have changed over time. Later in the term, the children will study New Delhi, learning about its location and identifying key human and physical features of the region. They will then compare land use and geographical features in New Delhi with those in our local area, beginning to recognise both similarities and differences between the two places.

Jigsaw PSHE - Relationships

In PSHE this half term, Year 4 will be learning about relationships. The children will explore the different types of relationships they have with family, friends, and people in the wider community. They will learn about healthy friendships, how to communicate respectfully, and the importance of kindness and empathy. The unit also helps pupils recognise and manage their feelings, understand how to resolve conflicts positively, and know who they can talk to if they ever feel worried or unsure. Through discussions and activities, the children will develop the skills they need to build strong, supportive relationships both in and out of school.
