Termly Theme / Topic
Year 3
This term our topic is WELSH WARRIORS. We will be exploring what we would like to learn
about the ‘original’ Welsh Warriors The Celts. We will be going into depth about how they
lived their lives and why they were once known as the most fierce warriors. We will be taking
a trip to see a historical Celtic Roundhouse from Wales as well as living a day in the life as a
Celt’. We will be looking at traditional Celtic tales alongside being creative and making our
own Celtic inspired jewelry. . At the end of our topic we will be holding a Celtic banquet to
celebrate all our hard work and findings! Long live Queen Boudicca!
Year 4
Our topic for the Autumn Term is ‘The Greatest Showman’
with a focus on the circus. We are looking at how the circus
has changed over time. We are doing this through the
expressive arts. We are participating in PE and dance
lessons on the circus- walking as clowns, acting out a
tightrope walk etc. and performing to music. We intend to
visit the No Fit State circus or have workshops in school
from the ABC Opera.
In literacy we are doing recount writing. We are looking at
fictional books and stories with a circus theme- ‘Hetty
Feather’ by Jaqueline Wilson, ‘The Girl Who Walked on Air’
by Emma Carroll and the short story ‘Circus Escape’.
Children will be innovating the story and writing their own
version of it. For non-fiction we will be writing a newspaper
report and creating persuasive posters to advertise the
circus. We will also be discussing when animals were once
part of a circus and producing argumentative writing on this.
In Numeracy this term, we will be looking at place value,
before moving onto the 4 operations of number. Each week
we will be using “Big Maths” in order to further our skills
and improve our maths confidence. Times tables are a big
focus for us, so we will be adding links to multiplication
games and learning resources onto Google classroom that
the children can access at home. (All children have the class
code to access the classroom)
Our PE day is a Tuesday, therefore please ensure that
children wear suitable clothing and footwear to participate
in the activities.
All children will also be given a reading book, please ensure
these are returned to school on a DAILY basis, so that we
can read with children as often as possible throughout the
week.
