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!

World Book Day
Posted: Mar 10, 2024 by: year4 teacher (F.Mabe) on: Year 4 Blog
Reading is our superpower! Year 4 had a great day dressed as their favourite book characters for World Book Day. In the morning, we learnt all about the life of Michael Rosen by completing a quiz in teams. We then focussed on one of his poems, 'Words Are Ours' and thought about how words are all around us. We then wrote our own versions using all our favourite words. In the afternoon, we got the opportunity to meet Michael Rosen online and then our parents came into school to join in with our Big Read. Thank you to everyone who made our day so special!
