Learning and Teaching
In Year 3/4 We Are Learning To....
READING: use questioning to develop our understanding of any given text. We use questions before, during and after we read.
WRITING: understand the structure and language used in a narrative.
MATHS: solve problems involving purchases and the calculation of change.
UNIT OF STUDY: explore 'Wonderful Creatures'. Examine the animals and people in Alice in Wonderland and other fantasy texts, research to learn more about Alice's Wonderland, generate ideas to create individual Wonderlands using mind maps and brainstorming techniques.
THINKING: explore the characteristics of curious thinkers: set goals despite uncertainty and be optimistic you can work things out.
SPELLING: develop understanding of the meaning of the weekly words, break words into sounds and syllables, identify the 'tricky' parts of the words and listen and write the words from a dictation passage.
eLEARNING: use the iPads and Netbooks to support and extend learning through Mathletics and Reading Eggs and for research and publishing purposes.
