Mrs Hedges teaches Class 3 with Mr Smee as our TA. We are a class for Year 3 and Year 4 children.
Autumn term i
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 stories and books by the same author, instructions and explanations (game shows!) and Indian myths.
- Our topic this half term is called 'Globetrotters' and is all about India. This will entail learning about the countries of Asia, cities and waters of India, the physical geography... leading into writing our own factfiles about India.
- This half term in art/DT we are learning about rangoli and henna/mehndi patterns to tie in with our Globetrotters theme.
- Our science work is the properties and changes of materials. We will learn about some different states of matter and explore different properties such as hardness and transparency.
- In music we will be learning to sing and compose in a unit called 'Let Your Spirit Fly'. This will entail listening to and performing music with an R&B leaning.
- In RE, we will ask 'What do Christians learn from the creation story?'
- 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!
Our curriculum overviews (recent) past and present are linked below, including a copy of our homework for each half term.
