Maths
This year we will be continuing with our Power Maths learning, building on our previous place value, addition & subtraction and multiplication and division knowledge as well as other core mathematical topics. Our structure for the year can be seen below. Due to term dates and progress of the class, the order of topics may change slightly.
We have started our times tables and have been learning 3s, 4s and 8s. You can practice these alongside the 2s,5s and 10s previously learnt using your Times Tables Rock Stars login.
Reading
Children in Key Stage 2 at East Farleigh use the Accelerated Reader (A.R.) program to support their independence in selecting books that are appropriately pitched to promote fluency and comprehension skills at exactly the right level. This helps to secure the very best progress from each and every child, whilst still allowing plenty of choice and autonomy is being able to select books that appeal to their individual interests.
It has proved to be a very effective system for motivating children and ensuring good progress in reading. Children have access to a range of beautiful books in their class libraries; these are regularly replenished from our school library.
Please ensure your child IS reading at home to enable them to access the AR quizzes!
Spelling / Vocabulary Building
In Key Stage 2, the children follow Pathways to Spell, through daily teaching of spelling objectives, which ensures that pupils become confident and competent spellers. At home you could practice some of the spellings they made need to recap on are common exception words for years 1-6.
Above in the quick links is the Year 3/4 spelling list for you to refer to.
Enrichment across the curriculum
Coming up in History we will be investigating Prehistory with our topic 'Through the Ages'. Why not visit the local standing stones in Kits Coty on Bluebell hill!
Later in the year we will also be studying the Romans. There are many opportunities in Kent to explore this part of history from Reculver Towers in Herne Bay to Lullingstone Roman villa. Both are great activities with Reculver being free to visit.
