Class 9- Year 4
Welcome to Class 9!
Class teacher: Mrs Beamson and Mr Waller
Teaching Assistant: Mrs O’Connell and Miss Wilson
Hello and welcome to Class 9. Since coming back to school after the summer holidays, we have hit the ground running! Our topic for autumn term is ‘Ancient Egypt’ and we are finding it very interesting. We are going to be learning all about the different stages of mummification, significant achievements and events that happened in Ancient Egypt along with using our inference skills to explore many sources and artefacts.
We are continuing with curious questions and are enjoying exploring creative writing with our faithful friends!
In maths, we have focussed so far on place value and will be doing a lot of work using the four operations. We are working very hard to learn all our times tables in preparation for the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check.
In science, we are learning about the digestive system and so far, we have already observed and drawn a model of our teeth.
In PSHE, during our first half term our topic is ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing’ before moving on to explore ways to manage risk.
We have also already completed a STEM project where we had to investigate levers to make an Egyptian shaduf. We enjoyed testing our Egyptian shadufs to see how many rubbers they could successfully lift.
Our PE lessons are every Friday afternoon.
We must go now because our time machine is ready to take up back to Ancient Egypt … bye for now!
