In the Summer Term, we will be comparing the Maya civilisation and the Anglo-Saxons, specifically focusing on their leadership, settlements, and general societies. Our Geography studies will investigate the local landscape, looking at how the River Mersey and River Dee have shaped the land and how their coastlines differ.
In Literacy, our work stems from Rain Player—a book centred on a brilliant Pok-a-Tok
player—before moving into a local area study in the second half-term. To support this, we will visit West Kirby Library to explore the ‘show, don't tell’ writing technique.
To further our understanding of our surroundings, our Science focus will be local habitats, where we will learn how to conserve the area for future generations.
Within Art, recycling and sculptures will inspire our final creations, while in DT, we will explore and adapt various recipes. In Music, the children will continue to compose and perform their own pieces while refining their use of pitch, tempo, and dynamics. Finally, in RE, we will explore Christianity and Judaism, looking at what it means to live a good life, how to be a good global citizen, and how religion supports our local community. Year 4 children will also have the opportunity to learn about and partake in Holy Communion during this term.
