Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Autumn Term
WB 9.9.23
This week 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. Next week we will be writing our own instructions for how to make a Stone Age Teepee!
In maths, we have carried on looking at place value. We have been practicing ordering 4-digit numbers and finding 1000 more or less to 4-digit numbers.
In science, we learnt about states of matter and the differences between solids, liquids and gas.
