Year 4

The Rise of Humans was our topic for the autumn. We explored dinosaurs and discussed how they came to become extinct - or did they? A journey through the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages followed and the changes that happened in Britain during this time.

Going Green - Holiday Here! was our topic for the spring term. We explored the beautiful Lake District; drawing inspiration from its landscape and discussing work that has been produced by others who have also been inspired by its breathtaking beauty; as well as discovering more about the human and physical geography of this glorious national park.

Ancient Egypt is our topic for the summer term. We will journey back in time to a land steeped in mystery discovering kings, tombs and traditions shrouded in the mists of time. We will be exploring the arguments for and against Harold Carter’s archaeological expeditions, as well as discovering facts about the process of mummification, the gods that the ancient Egyptians believed in and a myriad of fascinating facts about what the ancient Egyptians discovered.
