We will experiment to see some of these processes first hand and draw upon previous experiences to help understand and explain the background of the science.

This term, we will continue with our unit of work on the Romans. We will think like historians, make opinions on historic events and gain an understanding of 'What the Romans did for us', which is our overall enquiry question.
PE
Year 4 have their PE lessons each Thursday and Friday. Therefore, the children will need to come into school wearing their PE kit on those days and will remain in them for the rest of the day.
Times tables
By the end of year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12x12. We practise times tables as often as we can in school. The children are expected to practise their times tables each week at home as part of their homework.
Here are some of the ways they could be practised at home:
