Welcome To Our Year 4 Class Page!

This half term our work will be focused around the topic of Bonfire Night with the question of 'Why must we remember the 5th of November?' We will be learning all about the failed gunpowder plot of 1605, what lead to it and it's implications thereafter. 

In Maths we will be developing our knowledge and understanding of Addition and Subtraction as well as Measurements including Lengths and Perimeters.
