Term 2

This term, our Year 3 and 4 children will be diving into an exciting new topic all about dragons, settlements, and the human body! Inspired by the brilliant book How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, the children will explore the fascinating world of dragons — learning how to describe them in detail and writing their own character descriptions based on the book. In geography, they will investigate how different types of settlements develop and what makes a good place to live. In science, we’ll journey inside the human body to learn all about the digestive system, discovering how our bodies turn food into energy and why healthy eating is so important. Through art, writing, and hands-on projects, the children will bring their learning to life — creating their own designs for a dragon trap, making clay sculptures of dragon eyes, writing imaginative descriptions, and completing their dragon inspired homework. Homework is du in by Monday 8th December.

Term 1

What a fantastic term it’s been for year 3 and 4! The children have settled beautifully into the new school year and have shown great enthusiasm, teamwork, and curiosity in everything they’ve done. We’ve explored exciting topics, developed new skills, and enjoyed plenty of creative, hands-on learning experiences.

This term, the children have been busy exploring life in the Stone Age, Iron age and Bronze age, learning how early humans hunted, gathered, and created tools. In Art, they produced striking cave paintings, using natural colours and textures to communicate messages to others who visited the caves. In Science, the children investigated skeletons and even designed and built their own bionic hands to explore how our bones and muscles help us move. Meanwhile, in English, the children became budding advertisers, writing persuasive adverts to promote their own imaginative new products.

We’ve also loved seeing the children’s creative Stone Age homework, which showed amazing imagination and effort — a wonderful way to end such a successful term!
