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!

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!
