Mathematics

This term, across the key stage, we will continue to learn about: 

Multiplication and division 

Length and perimeter 

Fractions  

Decimals (Y4) Mass and Capacity (Y3) 

 

In Year 3 and 4 we are teaching for mastery in our maths lessons. Through carefully planned teaching and the support of a 'Power Maths' scheme we enable all children to access the maths curriculum at their level and open up opportunities for all children to work within a mastery approach.  

Mastering maths means pupils acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths. Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material. 

As a teaching team across phase and with teaching assistants, we work closely to plan, assess and evaluate each lesson to ensure the needs of every child are met. Additional time can be given in the afternoons or mornings if a child has struggled with a concept or we feel they need some pre learning to aid them in their understanding.  

 

Science

Living things and their habitats 

 

  • What makes something alive? 

  • What is a vertebrate and an invertebrate?

Heartsmart

Get Heartsmart!

Heartsmart means being smart with our hearts. The life of our heart affects the whole of our life. Loving yourself and others is the most powerful way to live and it’s the best way to create true friendship. We become powerful when we love ourselves and when we love others.

HeartSmart is about putting good things into our heart so that good things come out. It’s about watching what we allow in and thinking about how we let what’s in come out.

How can you support?

Reading with your child is the most important thing you can do to support their learning at home. 

Please try and read at least 5 times a week and record in their reading record book each time (3 reads of the teacher directed books and 2 reads online - ReadingPlus.)  This is very important. 

Your child's Reading plus password is on login information card provided.  If you have any trouble signing in online, please ask one of us.

Spelling - Spelling will be brought home each Friday for the children to practise their spelling at home as they are being taught during the week. The children will bring home a list of key spelling strategies that they can use to support them to learn and remember their spellings.

Maths 

Research shows that completing maths activities little and often is the best way to retain recall skills.  

Here are some of the maths activities you can access online.

Key Information

 

Please ensure that you bring your child's school reading book bag back into school daily as this will be used to bring home important letters and it will keep our reading books safe.

Our PE day is Friday. On this day we come into school in our PE kit ready for our PE sessions outside.

Your child should bring in a water bottle that is sent home to be thoroughly cleaned each evening.
