Week commencing 2.9.2025 and 8.9.2025

What a great first couple of weeks we have had in Year 4!

We have been busy learning all about prehistoric homes, including caves, teepees and roundhouses. We have learnt that the Stone Age lasted from 3 million BC to 3,000BC and was split into three time periods, the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. 

 .  

Additionally, we have explored Skara Brae and how it was discovered, as well as its importance. Next week we will be looking in depth at the similarities and differences between Skara Brae and our own homes.

                                          

In English, we have looked into how Stone Age Teepees were made and have begun planning and writing an instructional text on how to make a Stone Age Teepee! 

In maths, we have started looking at place value. We have been practising ordering 4-digit numbers and finding 1000 more or less to 4-digit numbers. 

                       

In science, we learnt about the states of matter and the differences between solids, liquids and gas. 

                          

Next week we will be making our Teepees so make sure you come back to see the final product! 

What a great first two weeks we've had so far.
