To be the best me that I can be
Welcome to Key Stage Two!
Autumn 2023
This term Year 3 / 4’s project is called...
‘Why Do They Keep Trying To Eat Me?’
This is a science and geography based project, where the children will be learning about classification of animals, habitats, food chains, adaptation, biomes and climate zones. The children will be learning about different animal groups then choosing a focus animal. Once they have chosen an animal, they will then prepare an independent exhibit featuring an interpretation board.
Our WOW start to the project is a visit to Paignton Zoo to get a close up look at how these animals live, where they come from and what they need to survive. We can’t wait to share this experience with the children!
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. There will be a regular lunchtime TT Rockstars club open for both years 3 and 4 during the week.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Year 3 / 4 Team.
