Welcome to a new term in year 3/4!

Even though this term is very short we have an awful lot to learn! Our history is focused on the Victorians and the legacy left by them, the Industrial Revolution and development of the railway. We will look at Scunthorpe and how it has developed into the industrial garden town it is today through the growth of the Steel Works, Roland Winn’s influence and railway lines.  In geography we will be looking at maps of Scunthorpe over time, and exploring why those changes happened. We will also be going on a historical, fieldwork trip to Normanby Hall to explore the life of Victorian people in different social classes.

We will also study many other areas of the curriculum: charcoal drawings in art, electronic posters in design and technology and electrical circuits in science.

We will continue to develop our mathematical understanding in all areas of maths.

A very busy term indeed!

PE days are:

3/4B – Friday

Children are to come to school in their provided PE kit on their PE day. All children will be barefoot for their lesson indoors unless providing medical evidence.

General classroom info:

Reading books can be changed throughout the week. If your child’s book needs changing, they have been taught how to do this. Children are expected to read 3 times throughout the week and have their diary signed by an adult. This ensures they will be eligible for our end of term pupil of the week rewards. 

Our TT Rockstar days are:

3/4B – Thursday

15 minutes practise needs to be completed on TT Rockstars (your child’s login can be found in their reading diary) or they can complete 3 TT sheets, which is the equivalent to 15 minutes. These can be brought in for the class’s TTRockstar day. Completing their TT Rockstars also ensures their eligibility towards the Pupil of the week rewards.
