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!

Water, water everywhere...

Posted: Feb 25, 2024 by: year4 teacher (F.Mabe) on: Year 4 Blog

 

Year 4 have been learning about condensation and evaporation in Science. Through our experiments and observations we have discovered that water doesn't need to boil to evaporate. We have also discovered the ideal day to dry your washing is a sunny and windy day. We have explored this further in Geography when learning about the water cycle. The children used diagrams and words to explain the process of the water cycle. We did this on sandwich bags, we then filled them with water and taped them to the windows (shhhh don't tell Mrs Walton!) creating our very own water cycles!
