Archbishop Hutton's V.C Primary School
Class 4 2024 - 2025
Welcome to Class 4!
Welcome back for the second half of the Spring Term, we will be focusing on science and the subject of forces.
The children will be investigating the forces we find in the world around us and asking questions about their part in our world. What is gravity? What is a centripetal force and friction? We will learn that a force is a push or a pull. We will look at different types of forces including gravity, air resistance, water resistance, surface resistance and magnetic forces.
Throughout the coming weeks, we will carry out investigations that will demonstrate our understanding through predictions, hypotheses and examining the data we collect
Please ensure your child is learning their Knowledge Organiser facts as there will be a regular weekly quiz.
Please ensure you look out for the Forces Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes.We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.
This year we will be emphasising reading as a focus for our learning. Ensure that your home reader is in school EVERYDAY as we will be starting our day with reading and creating a calm and focused start to our day.
Class 4 will have PE on Monday and Friday afternoons.
Remember home learning is always due back in on a Tuesday so it can be checked and sent back out to you each Thursday.
Our Curriculum Newsletter is published every half-term.
