​Banksy Curriculum Information

​Below is a summary of the learning that the children will be participating in over Term 3. We will be adding photographs and examples of the work produced and any new information that arises, so keep coming back! Please also visit our Pucklechurch Primary Facebook book for more frequent updates!

English: In English we have been focusing on our key text - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

We have enjoyed reading the first few chapters together and being introduced to Charlie Bucket, his family and the fantastic Mr Willy Wonka! We have explored the setting of the chocolate room - did you know you can eat everything! And we look forward to exploring our characters further as the term progresses.

Maths: In Maths Year 3 will be looking at multiplication, division and measurement.

Year 4 are focusing on fractions and decimals this term. We have been using our times table knowledge to find equivalent fractions and have started to understand what improper fractions are. We will be looking at adding and subtracting fractions, as well as moving onto decimals, in the coming weeks.

We are also developing our arithmetic skills through daily arithmetic lessons, and practising our times tables in our weekly slot.

Theme: Our Theme this term is 'Into the Melting Pot', which is all about chocolate! We are going to be exploring the history of chocolate, where it comes from and how it is made.

We will be using atlases to explore the world we live in, and the features of Earth. Comparing different parts of the world will help us understand how climate and landscape can vary across the globe, and we will be exploring Fairtrade and the environmental impact of the food we eat!

RE: In RE this term we are considering what makes Jesus so inspiring.

Science: ​In Science this term we are looking different states of matter! We are going to be exploring solids, liquids and gases, their similarities and differences and what conditions help them to change states.

Jigsaw: We are exploring our hopes and dreams this term, and how we can deal with disappointment and things not going entirely to plan.

French: Our focus this term is 'Our Sporting Lives'. We will be learning new vocabulary to help us describe the sports we play and enjoy, and we will be taking a look at famous sportspeople. Who is your sporting hero?

Thank you for all of your support.

Banksy Hub team.
