Feasts and Festivals - Spring Term 2024

This term, as part of our ‘Feasts and Festivals’ topic, Year 4 will be embarking on a virtual tour of India!  After ‘flying’ to Mumbai, the children will learn about the differences between life in rural and urban communities, including slums. There will be a special Indian food-tasting day, and we will also be having an exciting WOW day to celebrate Indian culture and explore different traditions!

 

  Victorians (Full Steam Ahead) - Summer Term 2024

Our topic for the Summer term is about the Victorian era and is called “Full Steam Ahead!”. The topic will be split into two halves. For the first half of the term, the children will be exploring what it meant to be a child during the Victorian era, including a Victorian school day. In the second half-term, we will be researching important and inspirational Victorian figures and their impact on our lives today. During the Summer term, we hope to visit the Weald and Downland Museum where the children will explore a Victorian home, school and toys. In Science, we will be learning about how electricity works and how sound is made and how it travels.
