Year 4H 2025 - 2026

Welcome to 4H

Spring 1

Welcome back in 2026! We are looking forward to some exciting topics and learning opportunities. The first term went by in a flash and this Spring term will go by very quickly too!

The first half of the term we are starting with Geography. Year 4 will be ‘Investigating Rivers’ which links to our first Science unit of ‘States of Matter’. In Science, we have the first of three biology units: Animals including Humans. This is a very hands-on topic where children study the human digestive system and human and animal teeth which builds on work in Year 3 on human nutrition, the skeleton system and muscle groups.

In R.E., we will be exploring what it means to be a Hindu in Britain today, building our understanding of Brahman and examining Puja at home.

In English, we are finishing off biography writing, using our link from last half term on Ancient Egypt by writing about Tutankhamun and his life. After this, we will move onto fairy stories such as ‘The lost happy endings’ and then we will learn about information texts.

In Maths, we have started with multiplication and division, looking at factor pairs. We will the be moving onto measurement.

Swimming continues right on through the Spring and Summer terms and looks to consolidate the progress made in the Autumn lesson. P.E. in school is gymnastics this half term. 4R’s PE day is Tuesday and 4H’s PE day is Friday.

Thank you for your continued support.

Year 4 team!
