Term 4
Maths
In term 4, we will begin with our first fractions block. To begin, we will compare and order unit fractions before moving on to count fractions with the aid of a number line. We will then build on our times table knowledge to help us understand equivalent fractions. For the second half of this term, we will move back to our measurement block by looking at mass and capacity. The children will learn to measure in grams and kilograms in order to compare mass, before moving on to measure in litres and millilitres to compare volume. We will continue to use a range of methods including practical, pictorial and abstract to deepen understanding.
English
In term 4, our Power of Reading text will be 'Cinderella of the Nile’. This book will link to our History lessons on ‘The Ancient Egyptians’. This beautiful twist on the traditional fairy tale will be perfect for developing the children’s story telling skills. This term we will also continue to focus on Extended pieces of writing to improve the Children’s stamina for writing as well as developing the use of paragraphs in their writing.
Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar will once again be taught daily. We will continue to focus on the statutory spellings for year 3 and 4 as well as looking more closely at prepositions, direct speech, and commas. We will also be focusing on our proof-reading skills in order to make changing to our writing, to check for spelling mistakes and make it even better!
History and Geography
This term, our History and Geography learning will centre around The Ancient Egyptians’. This term will start with a special delivery. What will be inside? Where did it come from? The children will need to use their inferring skills to work out who might have sent the delivery and what it tells us about our new theme of learning. Throughout the term, we will look at the key achievements of this Ancient Civilisation with a focus on medicine and mummification. We will learn about how the Egyptians used symbols for writing and even have a go at writing our own hieroglyphics and then finally look at the importance of the River Nile and how the Egyptians used the river for trade. For our fab finish, we will be taking part in a fun packed day of Egyptian style cooking.
