  • Musical instruments for lessons will be safely stored in Year 4's cupboard - don't forget to take them home at the end of the day!

Autumn Term message from Mrs Mabe: 

A warm welcome to Year 4 after the summer holidays! We hope you have all had a well deserved rest and are raring to go! The Autumn Term is jam packed full of exciting learning. We are beginning with our History topic 'Invaders'. Following on from the Romans in Year 3 we will be exploring what happens after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in 410AD and who invades next... Our Science topics this term are 'Food and the Digestive System' and 'Sound'. We have some exciting experiments so watch out for pictures. To find out even more about what we will be learning and discovering this half term, please have a look at the documents below.

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 June, all Year 4 children will have to complete the Multiplication Tables Check. This means it is more important than ever to be practising your timetables at every opportunity. Whether it is reciting them in the car or practising on TimesTables Rockstars (Garage) for 3 minutes per day. We will also be learning our times tables in class. For more information please see the PowerPoint below.

Please have a look at our 'Knowledge Organisers' linked below. These contain our key learning for Autumn in History, Geography, Science, French and DT. 

If you have any questions - please do not hesitate to ask - I am happy to help!

Atmospheric Moon Art in the Gallery

Posted: Feb 15, 2024 by: Lindsay Walton (L.Walton) on: Year 4 Blog

Our amazing artwork has been chosen to be on display in the Lytham Heritage Art display during February. This work was inspired by our Moon Week and involved us looking closely at the moon and using our painting skills to create an atmospheric image.  Effie was chosen as a prize winner - for the second year in a row - well done!!
