This term our topic is:
Why Are Most Of The World’s Cities Located By Rivers?

Welcome to Year 4 Class Wren!

Mrs Bromley will teach Year 4 on Mondays and Tuesdays and Mrs Bland will teach Thursdays and Fridays. We will teach alternate Wednesday mornings with Ms Framji teaching Year 4 every Wednesday afternoon.

Our topic this term is about 'RIVERS' and has a Geography focus.

We will be learning about:

• the difference between the upper, middle and lower course of a river;
• the names and locations of many famous rivers in the UK and the world;
• how an oxbow lake is formed and what erosion and deposition are

Our Wow workshop 'Super Sewers' will take place on Monday 15th May (am), where the children will explore what happens to our poo when we flush the loo! Thank you Severn Trent!
