Year 3/4 Newsletter  

Spring 2025


 

 

Welcome back Year 3/4 and a Happy New Year to you all.

We hope you have all had the most wonderful Christmas break with lots of fun and rest. Hopefully you are all ready for the start of a busy, but brilliant, Spring term.

Like before, this newsletter has been put together to tell you about the main topics we will be covering and to give you a reminder of general day-to-day information.

Spring Term Curriculum Overview

We are very excited to be starting a Geography topic -'Our European Neighbours'. We will be finding out about different places in Europe, their capital cities and places of interest.

Europe Map Images – Browse 843,638 ...

 

Later in the term, we will begin our learning of the Romans. We can not wait to start this topic with the children as they will love it as much as they did the Ancient Greeks! 

In science, we will be learning about sound and states of matter. We will do some investigations in both topics and have fun learning new facts.

 

 

In art we will be studying the works of Rousseau. The children will explore his art work, use his techniques and create their own pieces.

The children will do lots of other learning across other subjects too, but this is just a flavour of what's to come!

Thank you to those that have signed up to and are using 'Marvellous Me'.  We hope that you are receiving the important reminders, positive messages and general comments. Thank you for the 'High Fives' that come back to us. If you are having any issues with this, please contact the school office.

For anyone that hasn't signed up, here is a reminder of the links:

Reminders:

Home/School Journal: Children will earn house points for reading at home. Every week we expect the journal to come in to school signed by someone at home (with a comment if possible).

Homework: Homework is given on a Wednesday and is expected back the following Monday. Children have logins to access maths games at home too- these can be found in the home/school journal.

We will send home spellings to practise in all different ways each week in line with our ‘Read Write Inc’ spelling programme.

You may also be the lucky carer of our maths monkey or crocodile.  If you get to take these home, please complete some maths with them and record your activity in the book sent home.


PE:

Please send children to school in their PE kits (blue/black shorts, navy or white tops). Earrings should not be worn on these days and hair should be tied back.

Equipment:

Children will need: a pencil, ruler, rubber and a sharpener. They may also need coloured pencils and a glue stick. The children only need one pencil case.

Top tip: LABEL everything!

And finally..... keep your eyes peeled for parent events, we hope to invite you in to school soon for a parent/child cafe!

                                WE CAN'T WAIT!


We are really looking forward to the term ahead and can't wait to get started.
