Welcome to
Year 4!
Mrs Hosier,
Mrs Kovacs and Mrs Pansare
Summer 2
We will begin by completing....
I AM WARRIOR!
I am strong, brave and powerful.
Meet me in battle.
Draw your sword, wield your axe and challenge me if you dare!
Invade and attack, Romans versus the Celts, the fight is on…
Discover warring Britain: meet Claudius, Boudicca and Julius Caesar, and find out what the Romans did for us.
Get ready for Gladiator School and learn alongside Spartacus and Spilculus: brave soldiers of the Roman Colosseum.
When all that battling makes you hungry, relax, lie back and feast yourself on dormice and grapes, or perhaps a Roman style Slipper loaf of bread?
We will then move on to.....
TRAIDER
AND
RAIDERS!
Big and strong, powerful and brave, the Saxons wave their battle-axes and brandish their swords as they begin to invade Britain’s shores. Sail back to the Dark Ages, where battles were rife and fear reigned. Find out about the life of the Saxons, including how they lived and where they came from. Meet the bloodthirsty Vikings from Scandinavia – never before had such terror swept the land.
Make a Saxon sword or a Viking brooch and decorate it with intricate patterns. Choose to be a Saxon or a Viking and trade your crafty goods. However, let us keep it cool – we do not want a fight breaking out! Are you ready to shine a light on the dangerous and deadly Dark Ages…?

Jigsaw PSHE - Changing Me
Children will understand that some of their characteristics have come from their birth parents because they are made from the joining of their egg and sperm. They will label the external and internal parts of the male and female body that are needed for making a baby. They will also learn how a girl’s body changes in order for her to be able to have babies when she is an adult and that menstruation is a natural part of this. Children will also learn about the circle of change and how to apply this in their own life.
There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
