Foxes (Y3 and Y4)

Foxes Curriculum letter

The final term of the year is underway, and we began with making pencil cases.  The children will bring them home on Monday for you.

English

In English this term we will be learning to write an explanation text.  We will be using our ‘Talk for writing’ approach and be learning an entire text before writing our own.  We will look at understanding how to organise information and to write in the present perfect tense.

Our reading book this term will be ‘Wonder’ once we have finished ‘Mark of the Cyclops’. 

Maths

In maths we will be recapping and revising topics from earlier in the year as we follow a spiral curriculum.  We will begin with telling the time to the nearest minute and converting between digital and analogue time.    

Religious Education

In RE we are continuing to study Pilgrimage.  We will consider Pilgrimage to Christian sites in England and Europe. 

Science

In science we will electricity, how currents flow and how to set up a simple electric circuit.  We will problem solve with circuits and look at understanding the job of the switch in a circuit.

P.E

Our PE days will only be on a Tuesday this term.  We will be swimming on Tuesday morning and enjoying outdoor team games in an afternoon.   

History

Our history topic is Ancient Greece.  We will look at chronology, how the Greeks lived, what they believed and how they have influenced life today.

French

In French we will continue to learn some female nouns and extend our work with fronted adverbials, continuing our knowledge of ‘in the sea’.  We will work to put what we know into sentences and use previous learning such as colours to extend these sentences.

DT

We have begun the term making pencil cases.  We have been refining our backstitch and how to add fastenings to our work.
