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 Thursday

3Y - Wednesday 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 - children need 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 Egyptology by Dugald Steer. We will be using the text to write an Egyptian mystery narrative and a secret diary. 

Our shared reading texts in class for this term are The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and Amazing Rivers by Julia Vosburgh Agnone. We will read these texts regularly and complete tasks to improve our reading skills and read for pleasure. 

Mathematics

• Money
• Time
• Shape
• Statistics

Throughout this period we will revisit learning from previous years to help consolidate learning as well as introduce new learning. The children will continue to consolidate their fluency and accuracy within the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

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

What impact did the Romans have on life in Britain?

We will be looking at the invasion of the Romans and the daily lives of a Roman soldier. We will finish by looking at the impact of the Romans on Britain today. 

Geography

Are all settlements the same?

This unit will explore different settlements. Children will locate different cities and countries and identify the physical and human features found there. Children will then undertake a case study on New Dehli, looking at how the land is used and comparing it to the UK.

Art/DT

In Art, we are studying the work of Amelia Graham. We will research her artwork before making our own stencils and geometric art piece. For DT we will be designing and making pizzas.
