Homework
In Lower Key Stage Two, we expect children to read 5 times a week and bring their reading book into school every day. Weekly spellings will be given out on a Monday to be assessed on the Monday the next week. Your class teacher will also provide a weekly Seesaw task relating to any area of the curriculum. For example, children may be expected to complete an activity relating to learning in Arts, Humanities, R.E, Spanish, Science and Wellbeing. The tasks will vary each week. Please check your child's Seesaw page for more details.
At the end of Year 4, all children are assessed on their times table facts. You can find more information here. We expect children to be practising their times table on TTRockstars at least twice a week. Their login details should be glued into their Reading Record. https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student
P.E.
Our P.E. days are:
3T – Monday and Wednesday
3A – Monday and Friday
3Y – Monday and Thursday
A gentle reminder that our school P.E. kit is a plain white t-shirt, black shorts and black pumps or trainers for outdoor sports, without visible branding. Children can come to school dressed in their PE kit, as long as it is the proper P.E. uniform. Otherwise, they will need to bring it in a separate bag.
Water bottles and snacks
Don't forget to bring a water bottle to school each day - it is important for children to stay hydrated throughout the day. Please label bottles and refill them each day.
Children are welcome to bring a healthy snack such as fruit and vegetables to school each day for snack time. Breadsticks and milk can be purchased at the start of each half-term (please speak to the school office about this).
English
In our English lessons we will be reading The River’s Tale by Rudyard Kipling and creating our own poems about The Stone Age. As inspiration for our writing this term, we will be reading Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura where we will be writing our own historical narrative.
Our shared reading texts in class for this term are The Nothing to See Here Hotel by Steven Butler and The Story of Tutankhamun by Patricia Cleveland-Peck. We will be reading this text regularly and completing tasks to improve our reading skills and reading for pleasure.
Mathematics
We will build on our multiplication and division facts, solving problems with 2-digit by 1-digit numbers. We will also learn to recognise, add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
Keep 'Rocking On' on TTrockstars! If you want to be the best, you have to practise!
Science
Throughout the year, we will cover topics in a spiralised curriculum to ensure children retain the information taught. This will include Plants, Animals including humans, Rocks, Light and Materials. We will focus on subject-specific vocabulary and investigation skills.
History
Was the River Nile more important than the pyramids?
We will be looking at the lives of the Ancient Egyptians as well as discussing the uses of both the pyramids and The River Nile. We will use a variety of artefacts, sources and discussions to aid our learning.
Geography
Who lives in Antarctica?
This unit will explore the continent of Antarctica. Children will define climate zones and describe and understand Antarctica’s climate. Children will also research expeditions taken place in Antarctica as well as plan their own expedition of the school grounds.
Art/DT
In Art, we are studying the work of Henri Matisse. We will research his artwork before making our own art piece using 'scissor painting'. For DT we will be exploring the features of different shelters as well as making our own shelter.
