This term our topic is Ancient Egypt. In History, the children will be learning about what life was like back in the Ancient Egyptian period, using questions about artefacts to find out more about Ancient Egyptian life and conducting their own research on famous figures during that period. In Geography, the children will be learning about the counties in the U.K and understanding human and physical features focussed around the Forest of Dean.

Our book for this term will be 'Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp'

written by Phillip Pullman. 

Useful Information

Homework

Children will be provided with weekly homework. This may include maths based activities, writing activities and/or other activities relating to the curriculum. Home reading books are also being sent home. Please return these as soon as they have been read (alongside a comment on their home reading record) so that a new book can be given out. It is expected that parents or carers will read with their children at least 3 times a week for 10 minutes or more.

Year 4 Red Bus Book Challenge

Below is the Year 4 book Red Bus challenge. We'd love to see the children each read as many of these as they can during the year. This is a challenge and there will be prizes for those who read the most!  The books have been carefully chosen because we love them, and we are sure the children will too!

All books are available in school but due to having limited numbers of some we do ask that any which are borrowed are returned quickly. We also encourage all home books to be returned on a daily basis so that we can keep a record of how much your child is reading at home. Any reading you can do with them really does help them so much.
