Welcome to
Year 4!

Spring 2
British Invasion
Year 4 will be diving into an exciting new history topic: How hard was it to invade and settle in Britain? We’ll be learning all about the Anglo-Saxons—who they were, why they came to Britain, and what life was like at that time. The fascinating treasure of Sutton Hoo will help us discover how Anglo-Saxon people lived and what they believed. We’ll also explore the story of King Alfred, often called “Alfred the Great,” and learn how Christianity began to spread across Britain. To bring our learning to life, we’ll be reading The Cunning Lady, a gripping story that will help us imagine what Anglo-Saxon times might have felt like.

Jigsaw PSHE - Healthy Me
Year 4 will be learning about Healthy Me in PSHE. The children will explore what peer pressure is and how it can sometimes influence the choices we make. Through discussions, scenarios and role‑play, they will learn how to recognise situations where they might feel pressured and develop confident strategies to resist or say no. The unit will help the children understand the importance of making safe, healthy decisions and knowing when to seek support from trusted adults or friends. It will be an empowering topic that builds their confidence and independence.
