Grinshill Class Spring Term 2022

This term we have a geography theme – we will be comparing a Shrewsbuy with a town in the USA. We will be learning new geography skills and putting these to the test on a field trip in March.

In maths we will be continuing with times tables fluency, money, statistics, fractions and length and perimeter.

In English writing we will be reading The Silence Seeker and in guided reading Claude in the City. The children will continue to improve on punctuation, grammar and spelling for year three.

In science we will learning about key scientists and inventors and Forces and Magnets.

PE this term will see the children going swimming on a Friday afternoon and continuing with dance and gymnastics on a Thursday with Ms Ryan.

We will continue to have music lessons, instrument lessons and French lessons with specialist teachers.

In art we will be looking at sculpture and in design and technology we will be learning about food and nutrition.

Computing skills will be based around publishing this term and the children will be making their own brochures about a town in North America.

It will be an exciting term on the lead up to Easter.

Kind regards

Mrs Roberts
