Welcome to Key Stage Two! 

Autumn 2024

This term Year 3 / 4’s project is called...

‘Why is the Earth so angry?’

This is a geography based project, where the children will be learning about natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and volcanoes. We will begin the topic by sharing the books 'Here we are' by Oliver Jeffers and 'The Promise' by Nicola Davies. We will be developing our descriptive language to create a range of poems.

Our Year 4s enjoyed a fantastic few days on our recent residential trip to Charterhouse.  Activities included climbing, caving and archery!  A bit wet and muddy in places, but a great time was had by all.

General Reminders:

- Clean PE kit left in school as this will be used frequently

- Bring your reading book every day as these get changed on a regular basis. Please have the reading record signed four times a week by an adult.

- Use TT Rock Stars to practise times tables four times a week (Children will receive a login during the first few weeks).

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 / 4 Team.

Our Project Overview

Below is the cycle of projects and the subject focus.  The project title and outcome may change - that is to keep the engagement in learning as the children progress through the school.

Term 3 and 4

How do we see things?

During the spring term, we will be having fun being scientists! We will be investigating light, sound and electricity.

In English, we will be completing a unit of work based around the book ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes and also ‘The Mousehole Cat’ by Antonia Barber.

Term 5 and 6

Ancient Egyptians

Pharaoh or farmer: Which would I rather have been?

During the summer term, we will be time travelling back to Ancient Egypt and finding out what it was like to live at that time.

In English, we will be creating warning stories based on the story ‘The Canal’. We will be creating a ‘dangerous settings’ toolkit to support us with our writing.
