✨ Year 4 Autumn Learning Overview ✨
Welcome to an exciting Autumn Term in Year 4! We have an action-packed term planned and can’t wait to get started with our learning across the curriculum.

We begin the term with The Lighthouse (Literacy Shed) where the children will write their own diary entry and develop their use of fronted adverbials and possessive apostrophes.
We will then move on to The Anglo-Saxon Boy where the children will write character profiles, character and setting descriptions and a battle recount.
To finish the term, we will explore haikus and develop our appreciation of poetry.

Our term starts with place value, before moving on to addition and subtraction, area, and our first unit on multiplication and division.
