Mrs Hedges teaches Class 3 with Mr Smee as our TA. We are a class for Year 3 and Year 4 children.
Spring term ii
We are learning about lots of different topics:- English this half term includes a mixture of texts and inspirations. We will learn about many different aspects of fiction and non-fiction. This includes reading and writing based on The Hodgeheg, traditional poems, and newspapers.
- Our topic this half term is called 'Helpful Historians' and is all about the Ancient Greeks. This will entail learning about Ancient Greek life and some of the legacy from the civilisation.
- This half term in art/DT we are learning about Ancient Greek art and pottery. We will ultimately create a piece of art based on Greek pots using papier mache!
- Our science work is about sound. We will learn about how sound is made and how we hear, investigating different ways of insulating sound also.
- In music we will be learning to sing and compose in a unit about 'The Dragon Song.' This is music in a folk music style.
- In RE, we will ask 'Why do Christians call the day Jesus died 'Good Friday'?'
- We are learning French this year - Bonjour! Across the year we are gaining a solid grounding in the basics, with Year 3 learning the language for the first time. Year 4 will refresh the vocabulary learnt last year whilst learning the next steps also.
- In Computing, Key Stage 2 will explore different programming platforms: Lightbot (http://lightbot.com/flash.html), Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/), Kodu (http://www.kodugamelab.com/) and Blockly (https://blockly-games.appspot.com/). Over the year we also extend our learning about Microsoft Office, computer safety and any other coding that we discover along the way!
