Citron 2026-2027

Welcome to Year 4 and Team Citron

Your teachers are Miss Mills and Miss Smith

Your teaching assistant is Mrs Archer

A fantastic second week in Year 4!

Next week in English, we are going to become expert authors by adding exciting dialogue to our characters and writing a thrilling ending to our adventure stories. After drafting, we will work like real editors to check, fix, and improve our sentences, so our punctuation is absolutely perfect. Finally, we will proudly present our finished stories to share our amazing work with others!

In our Maths lessons, we are going to explore the magic of the number 1,000! We will learn how to break 1,000 down into smaller chunks and see how it helps us with everyday metric measurements like grams, metres, and millilitres. We will also become maths wizards at counting and calculating forwards and backwards from 1,000 with total confidence!

We also have an exciting week ahead in our wider curriculum! As scientists, we will be going on a bug hunt in our local environment – looking at finding a range of different invertebrates. We will then be using classification keys to identify the organisms and will create labelled diagrams with their stated characteristics. In RE, we are exploring Hinduism and will look next week, at the ways and places in which Hindus worship their gods and goddesses. In French, we will continue to learn some simple phrases which allow us to describe people. So far, we have covered hair and eye colours! Hope you have a great weekend!

PE days for Team Citron will be Wednesdays and Thursdays

Please bring in library books on a Tuesday and thank you for remembering your Reading Records on Fridays as we look to celebrate reading at home.

Highlights of the week

Week commencing 14.09.2026 - Science

In Science this week, we explored classification keys. After brainstorming questions in our groups, we applied what we learnt to create our own keys for grouping and identifying various organisms.

Week commencing 14.09.2026 - English

This week in English, we have been continuing to write our adventure stories based on a fantastic book we have been reading called ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’ by Joe Todd-Stanton. One of our lessons focused on verbs, whereby we worked in groups to sort a range of different verbs before using these in our writing.
