Welcome Back Year 4! We hope you have had a wonderful Christmas break and are ready to get stuck into some new learning.
We have lots of exciting things planned for this term including our new geography topic.
Pack your suitcases, don't forget your passports as we will be travelling 5,275 miles away to South America. Insect repellent is a must as we trek through the Amazon and explore what lurks in the depths of the Rainforest.
Our Key Question will be, Why is South America important to the world?
Each lesson we will be asking ourselves a different question to help us answer it. Have a go at doing some research and see if you can answer them yourselves.
