Year 4 Autumn Term

Survival of the Fittest

For our autumn topic, we will be exploring all sorts of battles for survival. Before half term, throughout our geography and science lessons, we will focus on the battle of nature vs buildings, as well as the battle of animals vs changing habitats. After half term, as we move onto our history learning, we will begin to unpick the battle of Britons vs Anglo-Saxons. During our English lessons, we will start by delving into the wordless book ‘The Tree and the River’ to generate ideas about changing landscapes, before reading ‘The Last Bear’ and exploring the themes of endangered animals. After half term, alongside our history learning, we will be reading ‘Monster Slayer’, based on the famous Anglo-Saxon myth – Beowulf.
