Year 3/4

Welcome to Year 3/4! 

In Year 3/4, we are curious, responsible and motivated learners. We seek to develop our independence and are always determined to work to the best of our ability. We show kindness and respect to our peers and friends as we support each other in our learning journeys. We are developing our learning powers and honing the ability to reflect and persevere in all that we do. 

Our Class Teacher is Mrs Thorneywork.

Our Learning Assistants are Mrs Bartliff, Mrs Lightfoot, Mrs Munday and Mrs Dunne.

 

 

 

Autumn 2

 

Our topic this term is ‘Who lives in Antarctica’. This will involve learning how longitude and latitude link to climate and identifying the physical features of the polar regions. We will also be learning more about Ernest Shackleton and his planned expedition, giving us inspiration to go on our own expedition towards the end of the term! In Science tying in with our PSHE topic we will be identifying and understanding the five different food groups and identifying what balanced and animal diets consist of. We will then look at what food waste is and how this can be reduced. Our final few weeks of the term will be identifying and grouping rocks. We will be experimenting with a range of rocks to learn more about their different properties and then expanding this experiment to include our local area to study rock types.

Autumn 1

 

This half term we will be investigating the changes in children’s lives through time, children will learn how children’s spare time, health and work have changed. The children will be learning about a day in the life of a working child and the significance of Lord Shaftesbury in changing the lives of children. In Science this term, we will begin with identifying and naming bones in the human body, and in a range of animals. We will be looking at the functions of a skeleton and how comparing similarities and differences between the skeletons, to include how some animals do not have a spine. We will go deeper with the functions of our skeletons and explore how our joints help us move.
