Welcome to Year 4 at Windy Arbor. We are excited to be working alongside your children for this year and helping them to dream, believe and achieve throughout Year 4. Your child will be taught by Miss Juckes, Mrs Blakemore and Mrs Geerlings, who will ensure that all children are supported throughout the year.  A key focus for Year 4 will be our times tables ready for our multiplication check in the summer term.  Our topics this term will be Greece and weather.

Our curriculum

During Autumn 1 we will be learning about Greece. The children will learn about the world and how it is represented on maps. Children will discover Europe's countries and capital cities and recap the UK's countries and cities. Children will use fieldwork to investigate the human and physical geographical features in their own local area and learn about a region in a European country (the South Aegean in Greece.) They will use their knowledge to compare the two regions and establish similarities and differences. In Autumn 2 we will be focusing on weather. In this unit, children will review their knowledge of weather and climate differences. Children will learn about the six main climate zones and the weather conditions in each. For instance, they will understand that the UK falls under the temperate climate zone, while other countries may have different climate zones.
