Croeso i Ddosbarth Llwyfen -  Welcome to Elm Class

Welcome to Dosbarth Elm (Y4)! 

Let’s get ready for an exciting journey into the powerful forces that shape our planet! This term, we will kick off our learning with a jump in afternoon and visit to Cardiff Museum, where we will explore fascinating rock and volcano exhibits and take part in a hands-on Marine LEGO Workshop. From towering volcanoes to rumbling earthquakes, we will discover how our amazing Earth is constantly changing.

Throughout the topic, we will investigate what causes earthquakes, where they happen around the world and how scientists measure their strength. We will explore how engineers design safer buildings to withstand natural disasters and learn about the ways communities work together to help people and places after earthquakes.

In Mathematics, we will develop our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction, while in Literacy we will write exciting stories, informative reports and creative poems.

Get ready to become geologists, engineers, authors and problem-solvers as we uncover the secrets of our Enthralling Earth! 🌍✨​ 

 

A few thing to remember -

​
  • Our P.E. day is a Friday. You will need to come into school wearing P.E. kit, trainers and a school jumper on this day.

 

  • Water bottles are needed DAILY. They should be reusable and labelled with your name.
