Autumn Term - 2020

Viking Warriors

Our topic this term is 'Warriors' where we will be learning about the Viking invasion. During our topic, we will be developing our Historical enquiry skills and asking questions to develop our understanding.

English

Our text this term is 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' written by Joe Todd Stanton.

In Years 3 and 4, we will be focusing on the following things:

Developing our comprehension skills - working on our prediction skills, retrieval and inference questions. We will be improving our vocabulary and understanding, as well as answering questions by using clues in the text.
Becoming familiar with the features of stories, and developing our descriptive skills.
Continuing to develop our love of reading. WE ALL LOVE READING!
Writing setting and character descriptions, and innovating stories that we are familiar with. We are continuing to develop our vocabulary and writing technique to form longer narratives.
Improving our knowledge of SPaG. We will focus on extending the range of sentences with one or more clause using a wider range of conjunctions, choosing nouns or pronouns appropriately, and expressing time, place and cause using conjunctions, adverbs and prepositions.

Maths

In Maths we will be looking at the 4 mathematical operations and our mathematical reasoning. We will be focussing on developing our fluency, problem-solving and reasoning using APE. (Answer it, Prove it, Explain it!)
We will also be working on place value.

It would be really helpful if you could:

Practise all of the times tables.
Let your child explain what they have done in Maths that day.

Explore topics assigned on Mathletics.

Science

This term we will be exploring the topic 'Animals Including Humans'

We will be working scientifically and discovering, primarily, via engaging practical activities.
