Mrs Hedges teaches Class 3 with Mr Smee as our TA. We are a class for Year 3 and Year 4 children.
Autumn 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 information texts, creating images in poetry and letter writing.
- Our topic this half term is called 'Technical Toys' and is all about toys involving springs, taught via a theme of Rise of the Robots! This will entail learning about what robots are, the history of their development, technological advances and what robots are used for now, how robots are presented in fiction...
- This half term in art/DT we are learning making robot toys which include springs.
- Our science work is also tied into our larger topic of 'Technical Toys', thinking about the physics and robotics involved.
- In music we will be learning to play tuned instruments at a more advanced level than before, in a snappily-titled unit called 'Glockenspiel Stage 2'.
- In RE, we continue to ask 'What do Christians learn from the creation story?', moving into our second Big Question of 'What is the Trinity?'
- 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.
