Class 4 Curriculum letter

Welcome to the new academic year. Mrs Simpson and I are very much looking forward to being the class 4 team this year and feel very privileged to teach this group of children. Having already spent the afternoon with the children at the end of last term I know that year is going to be fabulous and we will no doubt be the best class at Friskney!

Please find below an overview of learning this term. If you have any questions regarding this or any other aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to contact us.

English

This term in English we will be building on our descriptive skills by writing character and setting descriptions. We will continue to use the Talk for Writing approach within our writing using the fiction text Tree Giants to write a non- Chronological report.  In reading we will be using the text Percy Jackson as our class text alongside looking at extracts of poetry and non-fiction.

Maths

In Maths, we will look at Number and place value, mental methods, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division

In RE, we will be discussing Does Creativity matter, by the end of this unit the children will better understand the relationship between human and being creative by using questions and skills drawn from theology and the human/ social sciences.
