Our new topic for the Spring Term in Year 4 is Extreme Earth!
The Earth is our home and it is our responsibility to take good care of it. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and flooding are becoming more frequent and more extreme as a result of climate change. These disasters demonstrate the immense power of nature and remind us to always respect and look after the most special of planets. In this very exciting topic, we will be learning all about how these natural disasters happen and what we can do to prevent them.
Homework will commence from Monday 8th January 2024. For your wider curriculum homework, there are a range of different tasks that you can undertake which have been posted on Google Classroom. You will be able to use the skills and knowledge from the homework in our lessons!
