Year 4 Topic Autumn Term

 

Our Year 4 Topic for the second half of the Autumn Term is

Children of the Revolution (Victorians).

We will continue this topic after Christmas as it has been such a busy time.

 

This project has a history focus and teaches children about the

Victorian era including the lives of the rich and poor and other

significant social and moral changes of the 19th century. The

 children learn how to write newspaper and

 

other reports on an historical theme.

In this project the children will learn

About the Victorian era;

 

About the social, moral and technological issues of the day;

About the important people of the day including those who

influenced and made changes

About the literature of the day and how it was used to entertain

and inform

How to write a range of reports;

About the differences between childhood in the present day and Victorian Times

Eisteddfod competitions

As usual, we will be holding Eisteddfod competitions in all classes this year in the run up to our St. David’s Day Eisteddfod. The nature and number of the competitions depend on the age of the children.  Competitions include Art, Creative Writing, Handwriting, Poetry (Reading and Writing, Welsh and English), Singing (Welsh and English), and Music. Every child in the school will take part in the Eisteddfod activities ranging from the Nursery (Art) to Year 6 (all the above).  As a school, we would like  to wish every pupil success in the competitions, and would like to thank the parental support given each year in preparing the children for the Eisteddfod.
