Sycamore
Welcome to Sycamore's Class Page- Year 3/4
Get ready for a spectacular summer term! We have a mountain of excitement waiting for us, and it’s going to be as fun as a trip to the seaside.
What’s Cooking?
During the first half of the term, our topic is 'Seasonal Food'. We won't just be sitting at our desks; we’ll be getting stuck into some practical activities to see how tasty learning can be!
Farm to Fork: We are going to discover exactly where our food comes from.
Hands-on Fun: Since we want to be master chefs, the children will take part in plenty of "doing" lessons.
Magical Adventures in Writing
Our writing will be linked to the marvelous book, James and the Giant Peach. We are going to dive into the world of Roald Dahl to make our sentences as bright as a summer sun.
Character Descriptions: While we explore the story, we will use similes and idioms to describe James and his oversized insect friends.
Drama Time: We will take our ideas and turn them into our very own playscripts.
Word Power: We will learn to use figurative language so our writing isn't as dull as dishwater.
Masterful Maths
In our Maths lessons, we are going to put our thinking caps on to tackle some tricky challenges. We want everyone to be as sharp as a tack when it comes to numbers!

We have loved having Mr Richter join us from Switzerland this week! He has been teaching us about his ways of life and schooling in a different country. He has been very intrigued about how we learn at school in England!

Author Visit
We loved B.Ware’s visit to school on Friday 26th September. In the workshop, we made up our own stories, raps and poems! We’re so pleased lots of children bought a copy of her new book ‘Warning: May Contain Dragons.
