Sycamore Class - Year 4

 
Sycamore class teacher is Mrs Oldfield and our TA is Mrs Zilz.
 

Hello and welcome to the Autumn term in Sycamore class. I hope you all had a lovely time over the holidays and I can’t wait to hear your news.

This term our topic is Ancient Egypt. As Historians, we will be finding out all about Ancient Egyptians, how they lived, worshipped, ruled and survived. In Science we are going to be learning about the digestive system and teeth. We will be learning how the parts of the digestive system function and how food travels through the body. We will also be learning about the different teeth and their functions.

In English we will be learning about Howard Carter and the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. We will be writing stories based on the Egyptian Cinderella. In Maths we will be learning about Place Value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. We will also be continuing our weekly times tables and arithmetic tests.

I have attached our topic web (below) so you can look more at what we will be learning about in each subject.

 

PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. 

 

  If you have a query or concern, please talk to me at school pick up, or preferably you can get in touch via the school office by emailing messages@loxwoodschool.com and I will get back to you via a phone call or email as soon as I can. I am always happy to answer any questions or support with any home learning.
