Year 4 Information Page

Our Enrichment & Learning Experiences

Last term, year 4 moved on from learning about the vikings to learning about the Normans. We looked at some key changes over time including how the Normans changed farming in the UK and even changed the landscape by building castles and chopping down trees. In Geography we discovered how Gravesend changed over time and compared OS maps from the late 1800s to the modern day.

In art and DT we designed our own cross stitch patterns and used them to create our own bookmarks. We experimented with different types of sails to add to our own viking longboats to see how effective the different sails would be.

Year 4 DT

Term 3

Year 4 have been learning about the Vikings. We looked at what life was like for Vikings at whether they were truly just raiders and invaders. We learned that they were fantastic craftsmen, sailors and traders who even made it all the way to Canada! In DT, we have begun building Viking longships and next term we will be experimenting some more with different types of sails to see which will be the most effective.
