Welcome to Ash Year 3 and 4 Class
SpringTerm in Ash Class
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome back everyone. We hope you have had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed time with family and loved ones. Our topic this term is Space which we are all very excited about! We will be reading the fabulous text 'The Jamie Drake Equation' as our class reader (Is there alien life out there?) and basing our English writing on this, looking particularly at newspaper reports, poetry and story writing. We will be finding out lots of information about the history of space travel, the sun, constellations and the different planets in our solar system, including Earth, as we move through the term. We look forward to a fun filled term with you all, Mrs Jessopp, Mrs Fuller, Mrs Petros and Mrs Gorton The first new spellings for the term will be set on Monday 9th January. Check important information below for changes to PE days. |
