Bears (Year 3/4)

Welcome to the Year 3/4 Bears’ class page. 

Class teacher: Mr Foyle

Class teaching assistants: Miss Hillman and Mrs Malby.

Summer Term

Our English studies this term will look at to fiction texts: The Tin Forest and The Iron Man.  From these we will look at descriptive narrative writing as we seek to predict and write an alternate ending.  We will also look at recount writing through diary entries and newspaper reporting. 

In maths, we will conclude our work on decimals with applications to money; we will learn to tell the time on both analogue and digital clocks, 24-hour time, duration calculations and applicable problems, before moving on to statistics and data-handling.  After half term, we will focus on cementing the number mastery skills to enable the children to be ready to progress to their next year group, as well concluding the year with some geometry and measurement (mass and capacity) work.   

Ancient Civilisations are the focus of our History work (with geography supporting) as we look at the ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia and the civilization of the Indus Valley.

In science we will study grouping and classification of the animal and plant kingdom, which in term is linked to Art with a detailed look at botanical sketching, water-colour painting and printing.  DT will see us do food technology making ratatouille (Cook well – eat well).

RE will witness us looking at the story Pentecost ahead of Whitweek and in the second half-term considering the Understanding Christianity unit: What Kind of World Did Jesus Want?

PSHE follows the Jigsaw topic programmes about Relationships and then Changing Me.

On Wednesday afternoon's, Mrs Dunn takes the class for French, music and computing.

PE will see us do football before moving on striking and fielding games.
