French Our second French unit is called 'En classe' (in class). We will learn more French numbers (to 20) and the names of classroom objects as well as practising all that we learnt last term as well. |

Computing and digital learning This term we will use our iPads and Scratch Jr to build on the coding skills we learnt in KS1. We will write and test programmes with variables (debugging where needed) to manipulate characters in lots of fun ways. Learning how to touch type is such an important life skill. You can practise at home with these fun BBC Bitesize activities - Dance Mat Typing. |

And all the rest... PSHCE and SEALs - Getting on and Falling Out - we will learn about recognising good friendship qualities and, for when it doesn't go to plan, successful conflict resolution. Week beginning 14th November we will join with the National Anti Bullying Week (our Friendship Week). The theme this year is 'Reach Out'. Music - Mrs Chambers from Tameside Music Service will teach us to play with recorder each Tuesday and on Thursday mornings we will join with the rest of KS1 and 2 to sing with Miss Parnell and Mrs Lok playing the piano. PE - Our main PE lesson with Coach Jake is on a Friday afternoon. Children should bring their PE kit to school in a small bag that can hang on their peg on Monday morning. They will get changed for PE before their lesson at school on Friday and then come home in their PE kit so it can be washed along with their uniform ready for Monday morning. There is an after school sports club for children in year 3 and 4 on Friday as well. Swimming - Class 3 have weekly swimming lessons at Ashton Baths on Thursdays from September to March. Children need to bring their swimming kit and towel to school every Thursday. |
