Spellings

The word-lists for years 3 and 4 and years 5 and 6 are statutory. The lists are a mixture of words pupils frequently use in their writing and those which they often misspell.

Every week on Monday children will also be given spellings to learn. These words may follow a particular spelling rule or may be taken from the statutory spelling list. There is a spelling test on Friday and after the test children will be expected to continue to apply these spellings to their writing.

Autumn 1

Science

This term children have been learning about the properties of materials. We have been using our working scientifically skills to design and carry out lots of investigations to find out more about properties such as magnetism, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and solubility.

P.E.

We created dances around the theme of recycling. Each week we built on our skills and implemented different ideas to create a story of recycling from start to finish. We especially enjoyed incorporating lifts into our dances.

Maths

We have had a very busy half term in mathematics! The children have secured their knowledge of place value up to 1,000,000, have extended their addition and subtraction skills by thinking more deeply with reasoning and problem solving activities and they have learnt about lots of properties of number including multiples, factors, squares, cubes and primes.

Art

I have been so impressed with the children's ability in art during this half term. We looked at the style of vases from Ancient Greece and practiced drawing geometric shapes and figures. We then progressed to learning some different clay techniques and made a final vase where we incorporated all the skills we had learnt.

Music

We have been so lucky this term to have a specialist music teacher come to teach us how to play the violin each week. The children have already made lots of progress and they will continue with their violin lessons until Christmas!
