St John's Church of England Primary School

Year 3/4 Autumn 1 2025 

Welcome back everyone! As we embark on another exciting half term, we wanted to share an overview of the engaging topics our children will be exploring.

In Literacy, we’re diving into the world of Roald Dahl where children will be writing vivid descriptions of the Dream Tree from "The BFG", before stepping into character as the 'Stone Age Boy'. This will not only enhance their imaginative writing skills but promote empathy and understanding of different perspectives.

In Maths, we will be following the White Rose scheme, tackling the essential concepts of Place Value and Addition & Subtraction. Our approach is designed to ensure every child can flourish, with varied resources and activities that cater to diverse learning styles.

Our RE lessons will focus on exploring beliefs about God from various faiths, specifically Christians and Muslims, encouraging respect and openness among peers.

In History and Geography, we will trace the remarkable changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, allowing the children to appreciate the rich tapestry of our past.

Later this half term, our Healthy Schools Week will kick off a fun exploration of Digestion and Teeth in Science, while in DT, we’ll create Healthy Snacks. Furthermore, we’ll tackle E-Safety in Computing, ensuring our children are well-prepared for the digital world, as well work in PSHE to support wellbeing.

Thank you for your continued support!
