Years 3 and 4 2024 - 2025
Welcome to the pages for children in Y3 and Y4.
On this page, we will post useful information and documents for download (see the 'Files' links below).
This half term, we will continue looking at maps and the world in geography, with a specific focus on Europe. We will look at the names of countries and capital cities that make up Europe before comparing the physical and human features of the UK and Spain. We will also have a brief look at tourism in Spain.
In Science, we will spend the whole summer term looking at plants, with the focus initially on parts of a plant and their functions. We will also grow some cress and radishes as part of our investigations in this half term. In computing, we continue to build on our coding knowledge from earlier in the year by using different software (Scratch) to create algorithms. The primary focus of this will be the use of repetition in games.
After a DT unit last time, we return to developing our art skills. We will look at colour mixing, tone and shade as we paint pictures of food. In French, Y3 will be looking at holidays while Y4 will learn about parts of a town.
In RE, we will study Judaism and their beliefs around family and important festivals. We will look at what their day of rest, Shabbat, means to them before finding out how they celebrate Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah and Pesach. Our personal development focus is around being healthy and we will learn about getting a good balance between activities that bring us joy and those that are ‘good’ for us; this will include our eating and sleeping behaviours. We will also spend a little bit of time discussing neurodiversity as part of our school’s ongoing efforts to help us understand how we fit into the world.
The summer 1 half term also includes some exciting events, such as the Year 4 residential to Robinwood and a local history project for Year 3.
