Hello, my name is Mrs Sissons and I am the Puffin class teacher!
Our teaching assistants are Mrs McDowell and Mrs Treleaven.
This half term we plan to be exploring the following elements and subjects:
Science: Living things and their habitats
R.E.: What do Christians learn from the creation story?
P.E.: Invasion Games
Art & Design: Sculpture: Living Form - Viking Figureheads
Geography: Mediterranean
Computing: Online Safety & Programming (Scratch)
Music: Developing singing technique
PSHE (Jigsaw): Being Me in My World
MFL: Aprendo Español (I am learning Spanish) Year 4: La fecha (The date)
In English, we are starting with a poetry unit linked to a collection called 'Being You - Poems of Positivity' by Daniel Thompson.
In maths, we begin looking at place value.
At home, children can benefit greatly from the following activities to support their learning in school:
- learning multiplication tables and the corresponding division facts [each child has a multiplication/division table that they are focusing on]. Children have access to TTRS. Most days we plan for them to have a short 5 to 10 minute session on this in school. If they can mirror this at home, they will develop speedy and secure tables knowledge to help them confidently learn new maths topics.
- reading to and with an adult. Again we plan for the children to have a reading for pleasure daily session in school but the children need to also be reading at home as much as possible.
- practising spellings [weekly spellings to learn will be sent out each week]. Additionally, each child has a grid of list 1, 2 or 3 words (often referred to as challenge words) in the front of their spelling list book. Please note that sometimes these challenge words will be the weekly spellings set to learn. These challenge/list words need to be learnt, revisited and applied in writing throughout their time in Puffins.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Mrs Ann-Marie Sissons
