Owls (Y3/4) - Miss Bailey and Mrs Boyle

Class Teacher - Miss Bailey

Teaching assistant - Mrs Boyle

 

Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you all had a restful break.

See below for an insight into our learning this half-term.

Curriculum

In English, we will develop our writing skills through our class book 'Gorilla' by Anthony Browne. Our writing outcome will be to write a narrative based on this story, applying Gateway and Mastery keys taught throughout the unit. 

In Maths, our focus place value. 

In Geography, we will be working to answer the question - What were the importance of rivers to the earliest settlements in the U.K. and the 4 ancient civilizations of the world?

In History, we will be working to answer the question - What did the first civilisations have in common and what were their achievements?

In Science, we will be exploring animals, including humans.  We will be working scientifically to learn about healthy eating and the nutrients our bodies need, explore what’s in school meals, and study the human skeleton and muscles. They will also compare vertebrates and invertebrates, discovering how different bodies are supported and how human skeletons differ from other animals.

In RE, our topic is 'Creation and Covenant'. We will explore the creation story and Pope Francis' letter - Laudato Si. We will be learning (and putting into practice!) how we can be good stewards  of the earth.
