Year 4

Welcome to our Year 4 page. We hope that you are looking forward to a year of exciting learning and making the most of your learning journey with us this year. The Year 4 learning journey allows our children to make links within their learning by building upon their previous years at Westgate.

We commence our learning journey with our Geography topic, answering the question - Why do some towns have a beach, but Dartford does not?”

Our learning journey will begin by taking us all across the world to explore coastlines and to learn how they were formed. In our first topic, we will be exploring the reasons why Dartford does not have a beach. We will be developing our map reading skills as well as comparing physical coastal features from around the United Kingdom.

In the Spring Term, we will learn about British settlements focusing on the Anglo Saxons, when they invaded, where they settled, what they believed in and how their rule ended. This will help us to answer the question - How hard was it to invade or settle in Britain?

Later in the year, linking into our topic of Coasts, we will be invaded by the Vikings! However, we are not quite sure yet whether they were raiders, traders or settlers. Throughout the Summer Term, our History learning will allow us to learn all about the Vikings to decide and debate our answer to this question.

Throughout the first two terms, our Maths will focus on place value and the four operations. We will be developing our understanding of these areas of study, whilst striving to challenge our greater depth thinkers to maximise their opportunity for reasoning. We will be practising our times tables every day to ensure we are able to recall our multiplication facts with fluency and confidence.
