We have had a wonderful Autumn Term in Year 4 and are excited to start some new topics in the Spring Term. In History, we will be revisiting the Ancient Egyptians. This is something we looked at in Year 3 and are hoping to broaden and deepen our understanding of this historic period. In Geography, we will be exploring the water cycle and rivers - these are new topics for us and we can't wait to get started! In RE, we will be learning about Hinduism and in Art we will be exploring abstract artwork. We will also continue to learn French and develop our computing skills. 

In English will be looking at various texts to help us develop key writing skills. I (Mrs Kerry) am particularly looking forward to reading the story 'Biscuit Bear' by Mini Grey as a class. Year 4 have been working really hard on improving the quality of their writing so far this year - continuing to work on the key writing skills will help us continue on this journey.

Maths is a firm favourite in our class! We have now finished revisiting the Year 3 learning and are keen to start the new year with the Year 4 Maths curriculum. We will be exploring four digit numbers and considering how we can deepen our understanding of the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). We will also be continuing to work on our times tables recall in preparation for the statutory times tables test that takes place in the Summer Term.

A highlight from the Autumn Term:
The Rotary Club invited Year 3 and 4 to the cinema - it was a real treat! (See picture below)
