Welcome to Sapling Class: Year​ 3 & 4

Miss Swanwick is the Class Teacher and she is supported by Mr Best, Miss Studley-Cooper, Miss Langdon and Ms Moores.

In class we have Termly Topics. The topics we will cover this year are: Invasions, Misty Mountain, Winding River and Ancient Civilisations.

What have we been doing recently?

In the Autumn term so far, children have covered place value, column addition and subtraction in maths. Next, we will be focusing on multiplication and division. Year 4 will also be finding the area of shapes. In English, children wrote fantastic rags-to-riches stories with an accompanying newspaper report. They have also written Autumn poems. As we continue, they will explore fables and non-chronological reports.

In History, we have been learning about life in Britain after the Roman withdrawal. This half-term they will be learning about Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions up to the Norman conquest of 1066. 

In Geography, children have learnt essential skills about compass points and grid references. Next, they will learn about the countries, climate and culture of North and South America, which we will compare with life in the U.K.

In Science, we have learnt the names and roles of parts in the human digestive system. We have also learnt how to keep our teeth healthy. Next, we will explore sound, discovering how it is made and how it travels.

In D&T, we will discover how food is kept fresh through packaging and preservation. We will prepare and evaluate a healthy snack.
