Group 1
Group 2
RE - Chosen & Advent
RE - Advent
We are thinking about how Advent is a time of preparation- getting our hearts ready for the birth of Jesus at Christmas. We have made our Advent promises and will be thinking about the important words as we journey through Advent
In RE, we will be exploring the Sacrament of Confirmation. We will build on our knowledge of Baptism as the first Sacrament we received. We will be exploring how we are all chosen just as the disciples were chosen by Jesus. We will be looking at the different stories in the old and new testament when people were called by God. We will explore what it means to belong- in our families, our school, clubs etc and link this to our faith and what it means to confirm our faith. We will learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how these impact our lives. During the Month of November we will also be focusing on the month of Remembrance.
During December, we will be focusing on Advent and learning about the symbolism of the Advent wreath.
Science - Living Things
In science this term, children will develop their understanding of living things such as pondlife (following our fieldwork trip), birds, trees and woodland animals. The children will be looking at how living things can be grouped in a variety of ways. They will explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment. They children will also focus on changes to the environment and what impact this can have in the long term to the living things. Year 4 will spend some time bird watching, identifying trees at St Josephs and recapping what we found in the pond during our fieldwork trip.
Geography - UK Regions
We will be learning about the 12 regions of the UK (9 of them being in England!) They will be researching the regions and comparing the North West to the South West, finding our similarities and differences in the human and physical features. The children will also further develop their knowledge of compass points. Year 4 will use atlases, Google maps, DIGIMAPS and aerial photographs to enhance their map reading skills and identify the key cities within the regions.
