Summer Term message from Mrs Mabe: 

I hope you have all had a well deserved rest and are raring to go for our final half term because it is jammed packed full of learning! We are continuing with our History topic 'Ancient Civilisations' and are looking forward to our workshop with Mr Worrell. Remember to dress like an Ancient Egyptian for the day! So far we have enjoyed our Science topic 'Electricity' and this half term we will be learning how to wire a 3 pin plug and we will be programming traffic lights. We are excited about our Olympic Games themed week and keep a look out for Year 4's trip to the beach. 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! It has finally arrived, Year 4 will be completing their Multiplication Tables Check during the first 2 weeks back at school. This means it is more important than ever to be practising your timetables at every opportunity. 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!
