Welcome to Year 4!

Spring 1
Potions
Welcome to the amazing, magical world of potions and their properties. Discover weird and wondrous mixtures that are made to heal, bewitch or even poison. Look into the science behind these creations and find out about the properties of the three states of matter. With this vital information you can create recipes for your own, incredible potions!
This topic will continue with us learning about how medical operations have advanced over time, including research into the gruesome past of anesthetics (or lack of them!) The children will be enrolled for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy where they will write a letter of acceptance and begin their magical journey.
Sublime Science Educational Visit
This term, the children will also be having a fun filled day focussed on potion making and all things slime and sublime!
Supporting your child’s learning at home
Talk to your child about what they have learnt about potions. Can you spot many examples of solids, liquids and gases around you, particularly when they change between these states? Involve your child in cooking or baking and talk about how food changes when it cooks. Can you change it back to how it was before?
Jigsaw PSHE - Dreams and Goals
Children will learn to plan and set new goals even after a disappointment. They will be able to explain what it means to be resilient and to have a positive attitude.
