St John's Church of England Primary School

Year 3/4 Spring Term 2

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we dive into this busy half term, we’re excited to share what your children will be learning in class!

In Literacy we will continue our adventurous theme of dragons! The children will be writing instructions on how to look after their very own pet dragons.

In Mathematics we are wrapping up our work on measures and will soon embark on understanding fractions. Remember, times tables are crucial as ever as we prepare for the multiplication check. If you need any further guidance on how to support your child at home, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child's class teacher.

In RE we will explore why the Bible holds such significance in the lives of Christians today. This will help the children understand different perspectives and values.

In Science we are starting a fascinating unit on classification, focusing on plants and the ground-breaking work of Carl Linnaeus. The children will learn how to classify living things, which is sure to spark their curiosity!

In Computing our topic is branching databases, where the children will learn how to organise and retrieve information effectively. In PSHE we will delve into the world of Money Matters. In Art we are excited to finish our multi-media dragons, allowing the children to express their artistic flair, before finally in DT, we will be sewing our very own coats of arms.

It’s set to be a busy half term, filled with learning and fun! Thank you for your continued support.
