Year 3 and 4 Weekly Overview

In English  we created expanded noun phrases to describe volcanoes, wrote vivid setting descriptions of volcanic eruptions, and learnt about onomatopoeia, using sound words to bring our writing to life.

We have continued to practise our weekly spellings in class. It would be greatly appreciated if you could support your child by practising these spellings at home throughout the week to help reinforce their learning.

In Mathematics, Year 3 has continued with our addition and subtraction unit. We looked at adding and subtracting two and three-digit numbers across 100. We used place value counters and place value grids to help us visualise what it is like to exchange 10s and 100s. We then moved onto using the column method to help us with subtracting three-digit numbers.

This week, Year 4 completed our unit on column addition and subtraction. The children have worked incredibly hard and shown great determination as they developed their understanding of exchanging when adding and subtracting numbers. It has been wonderful to see the progress and confidence they have gained throughout the unit, and they should be very proud of their achievements. After half-term, we will begin learning about multiplication and division.

Topic: This week, the children completed independent research on everything they have learned so far in History and Geography. They used their knowledge to create either an informative leaflet or a PowerPoint presentation, showcasing their understanding of key topics and demonstrating their research and presentation skills.

PE Kits

In P.E, we are looking at Basketball.

Our PE days will be Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Children will need to be dressed in full PE kit when coming to school. 

Please ensure children have a sun hat and water bottle for when it gets warmer!
