Maples
Welcome to Maples we are a mix of year 3 and year 4 children. There are two adults in Maples, Ms Whelan the class teacher and Miss Darlington the teaching assistant.
Our topic this term is ‘The Vikings’. We will be learning about who they were, why and when they invaded and the legacy that they left.

Maths
In Maths we will be continuing to follow the White Rose scheme of work starting with multiplication and division before moving on to length and perimeter and fractions. The children have a weekly session using Mathletics and will be given their details to be able to use their account at home if they wish.
English
In English we are starting to write simple sentences using Tell me a Dragon by Jacket Morris and then moving on to How we lived in Ancient Times by Ben Hubbard.
Art
In Art we will be exploring Viking art and developing our drawing and painting skills. We will complete a final project using the skills and knowledge we have developed.
Science
In Science we will be learning all about the digestive system. Maples will be learning to name the organs involved with digestion, identifying teeth and their different functions, exploring tooth decay and finally looking at food chains.
P.E
In PE Maples will be concentrating on developing our gymnastic skills on a Tuesday morning. We will be learning how to develop a sequence of actions individually and with a partner. This will involve us developing our listening and co-operation skills. Please can you make sure that you send a full PE kit into school with trainers, which will be sent home at the end of every half term.
We expect every child to read at home at least 4 times during the week. Children who achieve this will be rewarded with a weekly raffle ticket and will be entered into a prize draw at the end of term where there will be the opportunity to win a variety of prizes.
