Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Year 4!
Spring Term
This term, Year 4 are exploring the world of the Ancient Egyptians. Through Mantle of the Expert, they will become both archaeologists and expert embalmers, examining the lives of the pharaohs and the role of the Gods, Goddesses and the Afterlife. They will examine the geography of the region, focusing on the importance of the River Nile.
In Literacy, we will be building our learning around the class reader, Secrets of a Sun King by Emma Carroll, and examining a range of poetry. We will be applying our comprehensive skills to expand our knowledge of the class reader. We will also be partaking in Shakespeare Week, and learning how he used language in order to perform extracts from Romeo & Juliet.
In RE, we will be exploring the concepts of parables and miracles through our topic of Galilee to Jerusalem. We will be accessing this topic through scripture as the children use their bibles to read and understand the Word of God.
In Maths, we will be working on multiplication and division, length and perimeter, fractions and decimals.
In Science, we will focus on the topics of electricity, living things and their habitats and the topic of sound. We hope to invite Sam from Boffin Projects into school for a day of experiments and instrument building.
