Class 4
I am so excited to welcome everyone back for what promises to be a fantastic term full of learning, creativity and discovery!
In English and Guided Reading, we will be exploring the themes of courage, darkness and light through some wonderful classic texts, including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Selfish Giant! These captivating stories will inspire our reading, writing and discussions as we uncover powerful characters and magical worlds.
In Maths, we will be focusing on place value and the four operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We will be building strong foundations and embedding those key skills that will sup port our learning throughout the year. Lots of reasoning, problem-solving and mathematical thinking await!
Our science lessons will see us becoming curious investigators as we explore light and sound. Through exciting experiments and scientific enquiry, we will ask questions, make predictions and discover how the world around us works and how we experience it with our different senses.
In Topic, we are becoming geographers! We will be researching rivers and the water cycle, learning about the journey water takes around our planet and the importance of rivers to both people and the environment. We will start this water journey with an exciting visit from South West Water to teach us all about the water in our local environment!
In RE, we will be asking the question: "What do Hindus believe God is like?" Through thoughtful discussion and exploration, we will learn about Hindu beliefs and traditions.
Our PSHE learning will focus on cycle safety and healthy living, helping us to make positive choices and stay safe both in and out of school.
In Art and Design & Technology, we will be developing our creativity through our Growing Artists unit and exploring textiles. Later in the term, we'll put our new skills to the test by designing and creating our very own Christmas decorations.
In Music, we will be studying the song Mamma Mia by ABBA, which just happens to be a personal favourite of Miss Wilson's! Get ready for plenty of singing, performing and musical fun. As we approach Christmas, this singing practice will come into great use as we get ready for a fabulous Christmas service in the church!
In French, we will be learning all about musical instruments and the seasons. What a combination! We will be developing our speaking, listening and vocabulary skills along the way.
In Computing, we will become digital creators through audio production, while also learning how to stay safe online by exploring internet safety.
Finally, in PE, Class 4 will be showcasing their amazing talents in dance and game sense. I cannot wait to see the fantastic teamwork, creativity and determination on display!
There is so much to look forward to this term, and I know Class 4 is going to work incredibly hard while having lots of fun along the way. I can't wait for a brilliant Autumn Term together!
Class 4 consists of Year 3 and Year 4 children
