Summer Term message from Mrs Mabe:
The clocks have sprung forward and we are officially in British Summer Time! I hope you all had a lovely Easter and you are ready for our summer term. This term, we will be walking like an Egyptian and exploring our History topic 'Ancient Civilisations'. We will have lots of exciting opportunities to discover what life was like as an Egyptian, including visiting Bolton Museum and Mr Worrell's workshop. Please have a look at the documents below so you know exactly what we will be learning this half term.
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! In the summer, all children in Year 4 will have to complete the Multiplication Check. Everyday, we will be learning our times tables in class. Any opportunity to practise at home will support our learning, whether it's reciting them in the car or practising them on TTRS. For more information please see the PowerPoint below.
Please have a look at our 'fridge words' linked below. These words are based on the vocabulary we are exploring within our History and Science lessons this term. How many of these can you learn? Put them on your fridge as a reminder!
If you have any questions - please do not hesitate to ask - I am happy to help!

Forest School Fun
Posted: Feb 15, 2024 by: Lindsay Walton (L.Walton) on: Year 4 Blog
This term we are enjoying our time in Forest School and the Come Outside Curriculum. Even when it's a rainy day, it doesn't stop us getting outside and enjoying our outdoor learning! Today we used the rain to listen for the different sounds it made on different surfaces and why! We used our knowledge of irreversible processes when cooking popcorn over the fire. We created a waterproof shelter using a tarp and we embraced all the fun to be had with mud! Great outdoor learning Y4!
