Croeso i Dosbarth Elm!
Welcome to Class Elm!
Welcome to Class Elm's page, we are a year 4 class and our teacher is Mrs Rowley. Over this Autumn term our topic is 'The Terrible Tudors'. Did you know that the first Tudor King - Henry VII was Welsh? We will be learning all about life of both the rich and the poor during Tudor times, portrait painting and Tudor music - they loved to dance! We will be learning all about 'Our Sustainable Earth' in Science and about 'Rules' in RE, so we're going to have a busy term!
Keep checking back to see what fun things we have been doing!

Spelling B Mondays
Mondays are the usual days for our spelling tests - based on the words that we will need in our school work - this knowledge is important to allow us to read and complete our daily activities.
Please encourage your child to practise their spellings every night!
