Log in Home Page Year 3&4-St.Paul's Home Children Class pages 21-22 Year 3&4-St.Paul's Welcome to St Paul's I am Mrs Heel, your class teacher. I have worked at Templars for over ten years and I am looking forward to a new term and a successful year. Here are some facts about me; I play flugel in a Brass Band, Bocking Concert Brass which my grandad founded nearly 40 years ago. I have 2 guinea pigs called Oreo and Kasper who are mischievous and absolutely love eating grass. My husband and I live in Braintree with our 2 daughters who both love art and music. I am Miss Lapsky, your LSA - Important information Please make sure you have your water bottle, reading record and reading book in school every day. PE is on Wednesday and Fridays.

We will be using estimating and inverses to check the answers to our calculations. We will be solving number and practical problems using increasingly large numbers. We will also be finding the perimeter of rectangles and rectilinear shapes and will use kilometres. We have had a big focus on x tables during Autumn term 1 and this will continue in Autumn 2. English In English we will be using fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases in our writing. We will also be learning to accurately punctuate speech using inverted commas. We will be learning about different ways of connecting paragraphs and will continue to be ambitious with our use of language. This half term we will also be learning to use and apply figurative language to our writing. Connected Curriculum The connected curriculum is the way in which Templars Academy teaches the wider curriculum such as art, geography, PSHE and history. All skills are explicitly taught to the children and then applied to a themed project. Our theme this half term is 'Feeding the community'. We will be baking the food and preparing the hall for their own Diwali celebration. To find out more about what skills the children will be learning and how they will be applied, see the file name 'Connected Curriculum' below. We will then be creating luxury chocolates to raise money at Christmas as way of applying the skills they have learnt in Autumn term 1 more independently. Science There will be lots of exciting experiments in science this half term as we explore light and sound. We will recognise that light is needed in order to see and dark is the absence of light. We will notice that light is reflected from surfaces and that the sun can be dangerous for our eyes. We will recognise that shadows are formed when a light source is blocked by an opaque object and find patterns in the way that shadows change sizes. We will identify how sounds are made and associate them with something vibrating and that vibration travelling through the air to our air. We will also learn about pitch and volume.
