Curriculum
'Food, Glorious Food!' is our topic this term. This is an exciting topic looking at the differences in Iron Age, Roman and Egyptian farming in history. During science, children may get a little messy discovering how their digestive system works in a practical way as well as finding out about the different types of nutrition. Children will study the work of famous British artists John Constable and David Hockney, comparing their farming landscapes before creating their own landscape in art. Children will learn some culinary skills in Design and Technology to create a 'healthy dish.'
English
This term, we will be reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and using Roald Dahl's creative imagination to help write a setting description. The children will also be writing persuasive letters!
Maths
We will be continuing with addition and subtraction followed by multiplication and division, showing the formal methods of these operations.
Reading: Please continue to read daily, even for 10 minutes, and complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly.
Maths Passport: Regular practise of Maths Passport targets helps pupils to retain knowledge and helps them to utilise these facts in other mathematical learning.
Times Tables: It is important for all pupils to be learning timetables up to the 12 times table and know these by the end of year 4.
