Welcome to Zephaniah class!

What’s Year 4 All About?
In Year 4, we encourage children to take more ownership of their learning, building on their existing skills while exploring new knowledge in creative and engaging ways. Lessons are delivered through a mix of whole-class teaching, group work, paired activities, and independent tasks—so there’s always something to suit every learning style!
Our Learning Topics This Year
We’ve got a brilliant line-up of topics that will spark imagination and inspire discovery:
- Autumn Term: What Have the Romans Done for Us?
Dive into the world of Roman Britain through History and Geography. Discover how Roman innovations still influence our lives today! - Spring Term: A Taste of India
Explore the vibrant culture of India, from traditional dishes and farming practices to global issues like famine and charity work. A colourful and thought-provoking term awaits! - Summer Term: Invaders!
Meet the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons as we journey back in time. In English, you’ll craft your own adventure stories featuring historical characters and epic events!
Supporting Learning at Home
You can help your child thrive by:
- Reading together daily – chat about the story, characters, and vocabulary. Ask questions and make connections with other books.
- Practising times tables regularly – use games, like Times Tables Rockstars, or quick-fire verbal challenges to keep it fun and effective.
- Completing the weekly homework– homework is set every Friday via Seesaw and should be completed by the following Wednesday.It’s a great way to reinforce classroom learning and build good study habits.
PE & Swimming
This Autumn term, PE will be on Tuesdays with swimming on Thursdays. Please ensure your child has their PE/ swimming kit in school on these days. For safety, earrings must be removed—if your child can’t do this independently, please leave them at home on PE days.
Thank you for your continued support. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, laughter, and growth in Zephaniah Class!
