English

In English this half term, we will be planning and writing a story based on the book 'Stone Age Boy' using our Sentence Stacking approach. We will also be writing autobiographies.

Maths

In maths this half term we will begin by learning about place value (up to 10,000 for year 4 and 1000 for year 3). We will then move on to written methods for addition and subtraction. It is also important that all children learn their times tables up to 12 x 12 as this will help scaffold their learning and prepare year 4 for their multiplication check. All children have login details for Math Shed to support this learning.

Science

Children will have 2 science lessons per week and each week will focus on a particular topic. Each topic will then be revisited at certain points throughout the year in order to deepen the learning and create links between all areas of science. 

This half term the children will be looking at the skeletal system and muscles, healthy lifestyles and living things and their habitats.

PE

In outdoor PE this half term, we will be learning the skills of different invasion games. In indoor PE, our unit will be dodgeball. This year we are using a new PE scheme called PE Pro. There will be more exciting opportunities linked to this throughout the school year, including different festival events for each phase.

History

In history this term we will be learning about Stone Age - Iron Age Britain. We will be exploring cave painting, learning about the importance of the different tools and materials and exploring how things changes across the period.
