The latest Year 3 Learning Update!

In history we have been looking at the key events in WW2 and making a timeline of them. We considered which events were most significant and how this might change for different groups of people. We looked rationing in WW2 and discussed how it would have affected everyday life.

In geography we have continued to explore maps and atlases. We have looked at sketch maps and looked at features of the UK.

In English we have completed our fiction unit on Michael Morpurgo’s ‘Friend or Foe’ and we are now looking at persuasive writing. We will be writing a leaflet persuading people to Dig for Victory.

In maths, we have been multiplying and dividing 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We have been flexibly partitioning and using a range of strategies such as numberlines and place value charts.

In DT, we have been exploring bridges – looking at London bridges and discussing what makes them strong.

In science, we have started to explore magnets and identified materials that are magnetic and non magnetic.

3L have enjoyed their swimming sessions and been making great progress – if you have nay spare goggles or hats you no longer need, please give them to your child’s teacher – we are always in need of spares!

A big thank you to all the parents who have bought things from the Amazon wishlist. I know that the children will really enjoy reading them.

Homework reminders – spelling goes out every week on Friday and is due in on Wednesday, maths goes out every 2 weeks on Friday and is due in on Wednesday.

Any helpers for 3L swimming – there is a rota on google classroom. I know there have been some issues – to edit it you look under your child’s assignment and edit the dates you can help. Please do not submit the assignment, we can see who has volunteered.

The latest Year 4 Learning Update!

Dear parents/carers, hope you are all well. Thank you so much for your continued support – it does not go unnoticed! This half term has been absolutely amazing and is going by so quickly. The children have been fully immersed into all aspects of the curriculum and their learning.

Homework -Please ensure you read the criteria for maths and English- the children should write a sentence for each spelling word. This is a time to practice spelling the word correctly, in context, and also to practice neat, joined handwriting.

Science– Science this term is all about forces. The children have explored the life and works of Kirkpatrick Macmillan, developing their understanding through biographies of his invention of the bicycle. During British Science week the children compared different scientists and as a result discovered similarities and differences between them. They also investigated how fatbergs are formed, when flushing things down the toilet. We ended the week with an amazing challenge which involved making a catapult out of marshmallows and skewers. They tested their mechanisms to see which one catapulted the furthest.

PE-This half term the children will be developing their football skills. Please encourage your child to bring a change of clothing (PE kit). We have been asked by Mr Wright for all children to be wearing the appropriate PE kit.

Humanities: Our topic this term is ‘Microsociety’. The children are so excited about where this topic is taking them and their learning. They have written their business plans and as a society established a tax system within their microsociety. They have had a trading session and as a result understood the need for ensuring products are of a particular standard and is what the people want.

Maths-In maths the children have been developing their learning of perimeter. We used our knowledge of measuring from zero to ensure our calculations were correct. We also learned how to measure the perimeter of rectilinear shapes by using what we know and subtracting.

English-In English this week the children have been planning, drafting, editing and publishing their own version of Billionaire Boy. They learnt how to hook the reader in by using amazing openers and punctuation. They also learned how to use short sentences for suspense.
