Summer Term message from Mrs Mabe:
Welcome to Year 4,
This Summer Term, we will be starting our History Topic “Ancient Civilisations" with an exciting trip to Bolton Museum. We will also be taking part in Mr Worrell's workshop where we will get the opportunity to handle and study artefacts from the Ancient Egyptians. Remember to dress up as an Ancient Egyptian!
Our exciting learning doesn't stop there, we will be investigating electricity in Science, designing and making 'Moving Mummies' in DT and continuing with learning to play the ukulele in Music!
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! On Monday 2nd June the Multiplication Tables Check will open for all Year 4 children for 2 weeks. This will be completed in school. This means it is more important than ever to be practising your timetables at every opportunity, especially those trickier ones! For more information please see the PowerPoint below.
Please have a look at the 'Knowledge Organisers' and linked below. These contain our key learning for the Summer Term in History, Science, French and Music.
If you have any questions - please do not hesitate to ask - I am here to help!

Safety Swimming and RNLI
Posted: Mar 16, 2024 by: year4 teacher (F.Mabe) on: Year 4 Blog
On Friday, Year 4 went swimming in their pjs for their safety swimming lesson. They learnt how to save someone from water by shouting for help, lying on their tummy to pull them in and keeping them warm, keeping them away from water, chatting to them and not giving them food. They also learnt what to do if they found themselves in an emergency situation in water. Remember to remove heavy clothing, lie on your back and remain calm, conserve energy by doing the dog paddle rather than front crawl and keep your hat on! We then walked to the RNLI to better understand what they do and how we can keep ourselves safe at the beach. Did you know that the RNLI stands for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute? St Annes have the most recent lifeboat in circulation, it has 2 jet engines that expel 1.5 tonnes of water per second each! It is a self righting boat, so it can't be upside down and all the seats are hydraulic to keep them level in rough water. The only person on site who is not a volunteer is the mechanic. We had a great morning!
