Summer Term message from Mrs Mabe:
Welcome to Year 4,
This Summer Term, we will be starting our History Topic “Ancient Civilisations" with an exciting trip to Bolton Museum. We will also be taking part in Mr Worrell's workshop where we will get the opportunity to handle and study artefacts from the Ancient Egyptians. Remember to dress up as an Ancient Egyptian!
Our exciting learning doesn't stop there, we will be investigating electricity in Science, designing and making 'Moving Mummies' in DT and continuing with learning to play the ukulele in Music!
At St Thomas' we LOVE to read, have a look at Year 4's 50 recommended reads below. What will you read next?
Times tables! Times tables! Times tables! On Monday 2nd June the Multiplication Tables Check will open for all Year 4 children for 2 weeks. This will be completed in school. This means it is more important than ever to be practising your timetables at every opportunity, especially those trickier ones! For more information please see the PowerPoint below.
Please have a look at the 'Knowledge Organisers' and linked below. These contain our key learning for the Summer Term in History, Science, French and Music.
If you have any questions - please do not hesitate to ask - I am here to help!
