English

In English for the Summer term, we will be studying fairy tales. We be carrying out many activities around these stories in order to extend the children's enjoyment and comprehension skills. The children will create alternative characters and plot changes and this will lead to drama, animation and the creation of their own fairy tales.

We will continue to have a daily focus on key literacy skills such as reading, spelling, handwriting, punctuation and grammar.

Maths

Our school follows the scheme from 'Hamilton Trust'.

This term we will be studying addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, measures and time.

The year 3 pupils will be moving on to learn their 3s, 4s, and 8s times tables. 

The year 4 pupils will be moving on to learn their 6s, 7s, 9s, 11s and 12s times tables.
