Welcome back Year 4 to the Summer Term of 2024. I hope you had an 'eggcellent' Easter break and are refreshed ready for an 'eggciting' term and topic of learning.
The Summer term topic, in year 4, is geography based, themed, “World Traveller.Com” in which the class will be learning about the wider world with the aim of answering the question: ‘Who lives in a place like this?’. The class will learn what human and physical geography is, including the population and culture to mountains and rivers of a country. This will be followed by the children investigating these geographical aspects of a specific European country enabling them to compare and contrast with the UK, exploring the physical and human geography of each country, Children will also find out about how tourism affects each of the two countries.
