This half term, Year 4 are answering the question 'How do you keep healthy?'. In Design and Technology, we will be learning about seasonality in foods and how we can use this to create a healthy and sustainable diet. This will link to our Geography learning, in which we will discover where some of our foods come from through map work, 8-points of a compass and 4-figure grid references. We will also learn about the water cycle and rivers in Geography.
