Autumn Term 2025

Rotten Romans!

Welcome back Year 4. We hope you've had a super summer break with lots of exciting memories to share and that you are feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting term of learning ahead. Our topic this term is a history themed one entitled, 'Rotten Romans' in which we'll be asking the question:

"What did the Romans Do For Us?"

Over the next 13 weeks, we will be taking a historical look back on how the Roman Empire was created; how the empire expanded across so many countries; daily life during Roman times contrasting Italy with England; Roman life in Lincoln and why our city was such an important staging post plus why Boudicca is so famous and her revolt so important. Through all of this, we will investigate how the Romans changed our lives and their legacy lives on today.

Please click on the links below for History and Science Knowledge Organisers. These pages will provide the key facts and knowledge that the children in Year 4 need to have. Please take the time to go through these with your children at various points during the term - it will support them and help them with their understanding of the learning. Thank you.

Your new classroom is ready for the new term and our very exciting topic all about the romans.

Summer 2025- Transition Day

During the day the children experienced various activities and experiences linked to being a year 4 learner. The class finished off their day in Year 4 with some team building activities. This included transporting of a tennis ball from point A to point B. The criteria for the transportation were: the ball couldn’t touch the ground; the children couldn’t hold the ball whilst it travelled; the children had to use the two drainpipes provided to carry it and they weren’t allowed to move whilst the ball was in their section of the drainpipe.

Great to see so much ingenuity with the transportation; the superb communication and planning skills but most importantly the working together to be successful.

Summer Term 2025

World Traveller.Com

Welcome back Year 4 to the 2025 Summer Term. I hope you had an 'eggcellent' Easter break and that you are refreshed and ready for an 'eggciting' summer term and topic of learning.

The Summer term topic, in year 4, is geography based, themed, “World Traveller.Com” in which the class will be learning about the wider world with the aim of answering the question: ‘Who lives in a place like this?’. The class will learn what human and physical geography is, including the population and culture to mountains and rivers of a country. This will be followed by the children investigating these geographical aspects of a specific European country enabling them to compare and contrast with the UK, exploring the physical and human geography of each country, Children will also find out about how tourism affects each of the two countries.

Spring Term 2025

The Mayans

&

Making Connections!

Welcome back Year 4. We hope you've had a wonderful Christmas with lots of exciting memories to share. The spring term will have two topic themes: The Mayans & Making Connections. Firstly, the focus will have a historical theme, learning about a Non European Society uncovering the mysteries of the Mayan civilisation. Then, in term 4, the topic changes to a scientific one focusing on electricity and sound.

Term threes’s fascinating first topic takes a trip deep into the rainforests of Central America exploring Mayan ruins and from there embarking on a journey that will help the class uncover the life, society and civilisation of both ancient and modern Mayan people.

In term four, the topic theme switches to science in which we will investigate electricity and sound. The class will learn: how circuits work; the differences between mains and battery-powered electricity; how to make a switch using knowledge of which materials are conductors, and which are insulators all of which will provide the class with many opportunities for investigations and experiments. During the unit on sound, the class will explore what sound is, how it is made and how the human ear works before having the chance to investigate how sound travels, how it can be blocked and how different pitches can be attained.
