Enchanted Worlds

As part of our Enchanted Worlds topic, Year 4 pupils will journey into magical lands filled with mystery, adventure and imagination. Through a rich range of texts, including Into the Forest, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hansel and Gretel and traditional fairy tales, children will explore how authors create captivating characters, settings and stories. 

In English, pupils will write narratives inspired by fantasy literature, develop detailed setting descriptions and explore classic poetry through The Jabberwocky. Reading lessons will encourage children to discuss, compare and evaluate a variety of magical and traditional tales while developing their comprehension skills. 

Across the wider curriculum, children will investigate how sound is created and travels in Science, compare life in the UK and Greece in Geography, and learn about Sikh beliefs and practices in RE. In Art, pupils will develop their textile skills through stitching and fabric decoration, while Computing lessons will explore how networks and the internet connect the world. 

Our Character Education focus will challenge children to design their own fantasy creature and consider its rights, encouraging thoughtful discussions about fairness, responsibility and respect. A highlight of the term will be our visit to Harry Potter Studios, bringing our learning to life and inspiring children to immerse themselves in the magical worlds they encounter throughout the topic. 

Through Enchanted Worlds, pupils will develop creativity, curiosity and confidence while making connections across subjects and discovering the power of imagination.
