Autumn 1 2025: Walk Like an Egyptian

Week 3

What a wonderful week we’ve had! Our trip to Sky Studios was incredible, and the children had a brilliant time exploring behind the scenes and creating their own movie trailers. We hope you’ve enjoyed watching these at home! As mathematicians, we continued to practise adding two or more addends to find a sum using column addition. We also extended our thinking by exploring questions involving regrouping. In Science, we began learning about the digestive system, using secondary sources to research the body parts involved in breaking down the food we eat. In Art, we discussed the meaning of the word proportion and explored what it means to draw an accurate self-portrait.

 

Week 2

What a start we have had to Year 4! We have started to delve into our topic, 'Walk Like an Egyptian' and have learnt about Howard Carter in Radical Reading and also started to learn how to play hockey in P.E. In P.S.H.E, we have focused on healthy relationships and how to maintain these and have also started to investigate music and art during these ancient Egyptian times.

As mathematicians, we have been adding two or more addends to make a sum and used column addition to do this. As writers, we have learnt about common, proper, partitive and collective nouns.
