Year 4 News

This week has been test week and the children have focused in these really well. In the afternoons, we started a new PE unit on dance, and have learnt to count in beats and follow choreography in time. We have also started our new History topic on Ancient Egypt and have focused on looking into why the Egyptians chose to settle by the River Nile and how it was a vital source for them. In our reading sessions, we have been practising our vocabulary and retrieval skills in texts about the Geography of Egypt and Egyptian Mythology. In Science, as part of our unit on animals including humans, we have been learning about the organs in our digestive systems and their role in digestion. In computing, we have been looking into effective searching when using search engines to try and find specific information. Next week we will begin our English unit on Instructions and Maths lessons on number and place value. You will receive a set of spellings to practise for our weekly spelling test. We also test our times tables on a Friday so keep practising at home too. Have a great weekend.
