Welcome to Year 4 at Hollybush Primary School! This term, the children will be exploring the fascinating topic of Rivers, with a special focus on the River Aire, which flows through our local area. Through geography lessons, map work and creative projects, the children will be learning how rivers are formed, the journey they take from source to mouth, and the vital role they play in shaping landscapes and supporting life.
Our class authors are Michael Rosen and Ted Hughes. Michael Rosen’s playful poetry and storytelling will help us find joy in words, while Ted Hughes’ powerful nature poems will deepen our appreciation for the world around us, especially the rivers, animals, and landscapes we will be learning about.
