Grosvenor - Year 3/4 2023 - 2024

Miss Frances Eaton

Welcome to Grosvenor Class; the home of Year 3 and 4! 

During the Summer term, our topic will be 'Anglo-Saxons'. We are looking forward to investigating this period throughout our curriculum subjects this term.

As writers, we will be writing our own newspaper reports and getting creative with our own twisted narratives.

As mathematicians, we will be continuing our learning of measurement, with money, length and perimeter. We will also begin our learning of geometry, looking into the properties of shapes and angles.

As historians, we will be exploring Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britian and looking into the time of Edward the Confessor. We will also consider where this period of time sits on the timeline amongst our previous history learning.

As geographers, we will be continuing to use atlases and maps to help our understanding of where historical events took place.

As scientists, we will be making our own electrical circuits and investigating how they function to make a bulb light up. We will also be continuing our learning about living things, considering how we can classify animals in a variety of ways.

As theologians, we will be exploring various world faiths and considering why we have rules and if we all follow the same rules. We will also be exploring prayer and how this may look different amongst different world faiths.

As designers, we will be designing our own Anglo-Saxon belt purses that can keep our valuables safe using textiles and sewing.

As artists, we will be sculpting our own Anglo-Saxon brooch designs using clay.

As musicians, we have Music 4 Life joining us once again this term to teach the children how to play brass instruments. We will continue to look into pitch, dynamics and scales throughout our learning.

As linguists, in our French learning, we will be looking at days of the week, colours, numbers and developing our ability to ask and respond to questions.
