Welcome to Autumn Term in Year 4 and our fascinating theme, Tomb Raiders!

This autumn, our classroom is being transported back thousands of years to the land of pharaohs, pyramids, and mysteries… Ancient Egypt!

Our theme for the term is “Tomb Raiders”, where we’ll become young historians, archaeologists, and storytellers. Together, we’ll uncover the secrets of the pyramids, explore the fascinating lives of the pharaohs, and investigate how the River Nile shaped one of the greatest civilizations in history.

Get ready for an exciting journey filled with discovery, adventure, and imagination. Year 4 are about to step into the shoes of the original tomb raiders – uncovering treasures of knowledge buried in the sands of time!

Homework

Homework will be given out on a weekly basis. This will be issued online via Google Classroom on a Friday and we ask that this is returned the following Friday. We will talk the children through how to access this work ahead of it being submitted so that they are familiar with how to return work. Further information will also be shared during the Year 4 welcome meeting in week 2. 

This homework will include a piece of either English (Including comprehensions) or Maths and at times, it may also be a theme based project.

We also ask that you continue to read at home and complete your progress in your 'Reading Logs' (please bring these into school each day). Reading both aloud to a grown up and silently to yourself are both important skills to continue practising throughout this year.

Spellings

We will focus on words taken from the Year 3/4 spelling list which you can find within the ‘Files to download’ section of this webpage.

During our English and Grammar sessions in school, we will practise these but they will also thread into our learning throughout the week.

A new word list will be set on Spelling Frame each week as part of the weekly homework,

PE

Our PE slot's will be on a Tuesday (Outdoor) and Friday (Indoor).

Please ensure that your child has the correct kit in school each week. Long hair should always be tied back and earrings removed.

As the winter months approach, jogging bottoms and a warm jumper may be worn for outdoor PE.

Please log on to 'Google Classroom' for ongoing updates about class activities and homework.
