Badgers

Hello, we are Badger Class. We are the Year Four children of Sheerhatch Primary School and our teacher is Miss Case.

Year Four contains a fantastic range of topics. Here’s a rundown:

The Autumn term takes on the Romans and also the topic of ‘Restless Earth’. This provides brilliant opportunities for shield walls  on the playground and investigating the effect of Mount Vesuvius on the city of Pompeii.

In the Spring, Year Four will face more invaders in the form of the Anglo Saxons and Picts, finding out how the way they lived influences our lives today. They will explore the myth of Beowulf and be inspired to write their own hero myths.

The Summer term begins with looking at crime and punishment through the ages and reflecting on how the expectations and conventions of society have changed with the times. The topic: ‘Love Your Planet’ will complete the year with the children learning all about the effects of humans on the planet.

Topic Overviews and Knowledge Organisers

The topic overviews give a brief snapshot of what will be studied in each topic- these are intended as information for parents and guardians. Knowledge organisers are used from Year One upwards: they contain the ‘sticky knowledge’ of a topic and are used by the children for reference and recall. In Key Stage One, these are used for history, geography and science. Once Key Stage Two begins, the range of knowledge organisers is expanded.

The Lower Key Stage Two overviews and organisers can be found here: https://sheerhatchprimary.org.uk/info/lower-key-stage-…ledge-organisers/ ‎
