In English this week, as Authors, we will begin our new unit of learning on narrative writing. We will be developing vocabulary, learning new grammar techniques and creating short sentence stacks. The children will then write their own version of The Journey by Aaron Becker. 

This week in spellings we will be learning to spell Y3/4 common exception words. Your child can use Spelling Shed to access a range of activities linked to the spelling rules and patterns they are learning in school. The children can access ‘Spelling Shed’ using their individualised username and password. Here is a link to the website Spelling Shed - The Science of Spelling

In Maths this term, as Mathematicians, we will begin by learning to tell the time to 5 minutes and to the minute. We will then move on to learning about decimals. The children will practice finding tenths and hundredths as well as ordering and comparing decimals. We will also continue learning the seven times-tables developing speed and accuracy. Your child can use Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe to practice at home.

Also, this week…
We will introduce our new Enquiry, ‘How do you feel the force?’ As Scientists, we will observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others. Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet and identify some magnetic materials. As Engineers, we will design, make and evaluate a magnetic game.
