Welcome to Ash Year 3 and 4 Class
Welcome Back!
|
Welcome back to our Y4s and welcome to our new Y3s! We hope you have had a lovely summer and are looking forward to an exciting year at Shipley.
Our topic this term is WW1. We will be looking at what life was like in the 1900s before the war started, the key events of the war, and also some of the social changes that began during and following on from the war. In particular we will be focusing on how life changed for girls and women, and how some of the changes that started during this time took so long to be changed for good. For example - how long it took before women and girls were truly accepted into the world of football. This is something our book for the term, 'Lily and the Rockets', looks at in detail and we can see how different a time it was when compared with our Lionesses and their achievements over the summer. We can't wait to see you all and hear what you have been doing over the summer, Mrs Jessopp, Mrs Fuller, Mrs Petros and Mrs Gorton Please note: SPELLING lists have now had dates added to each list of words to help avoid any confusion about which week we are on. Children will be sent home with a paper copy of this overview, but will also still be given a list of words to glue into their orange spelling books each week. The weekly tests are carried out in the backs of these books so you can see how they are getting on. |
