Hello Dosbarth Chepstow!
Welcome to the webpage for our Year 3/4 class.
Our P.E. days are Tuesday (indoors) and Thursday (outdoors.)
Just wear normal school uniform but make sure to wear joggers or shorts and trainers.
Our topic this Spring term is Sustainability & Citizenship. We will be learning how to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing, reusing and recycling. Carrying out a litter pick in the locality will help us learn more about materials and how waste affects the planet. We will consider why materials are chosen for their uses during the design process and if they’re natural or man-made. We will research and design our own sustainable house and learn about renewable energy and resources. We will design and make an ‘upcycled art project’ and also make recycled paper to use for Easter craft. We will consider what it means to be a good citizen of Caerphilly, Wales and the Earth so that we understand both our rights and responsibilities, show compassion towards others and are aware of what’s going on in the world. We will consider why it’s important to follow rules and laws to show respect to other people and our environment. In PHSE we will look at our dreams and goals and how to keep healthy and safe. Maths will mainly focus on multiplication, division and fractions, Literacy on writing stories and fact files.
Authentic learning opportunities will include taking part in the RSPB’s Big Bird Watch, Safer Internet Day and British Science Week – including entering the poster competition! There will be much fun celebrating St Dwynwen’s Day, World Book Day, St David’s Day and Easter!
How WILL we fit it all into ten weeks?
