Welcome to the pages for children in Y3 and Y4.

On this page, we will post useful information and documents for download (see the 'Files' links below).

This half term, we will finish looking at Stone Age Britain. Then we will look at how Britain moved into the Bronze Age and then the Iron Age. We will research Skara Brae as a significant location in the UK and then begin to look at how metal changed the lives of people living at that time. We will also investigate how housing and society changed through the development of hillforts.

Our science focus will be around classifying and grouping living things, including using classification keys as a way of identifying different animals and plants. We'll consider the 7 things that all living things can do and discuss some aspects, such as habitats and food chains, in more detail. Changes to environments, especially those caused by humans, will also be a focus.

In French, we will look at different words for colours, with Y4 considering how the gender of words can affect the spelling of these words. Y4 will also do some work based around items of clothing while Y3 focus more on animals. Our computing learning ties in nicely with some of our science because we will look at using and creating branching databases (classification keys are a form of this). In RE, our focus remains on Christianity but moves to look at the trinity formed by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, including a look at baptism as an important event in a Christian's life. In our personal development lessons, we will take a closer look at community as a concept, thinking about the communities we are part of and how we can be good citizens within those communities. In PE lessons, we will be covering both gymnastics and dance.
