Welcome back Beech Class!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! Thank you for the gifts at the end of the term. It is very much appreciated. Our topics this half term is Changing States, Where is Egypt? and Portal stories. Spelling and times tables will still be tested on a Thursday so keep practising! Year 4 especially need to be doing daily TTRS practice also please. 

Trip to Gilbert White's House 

We had a wonderful day at the Antarctic Explorers day where we learnt what it was like to be an Antarctic explorer. 

Spellings 

Spellings will be on PurpleMash every Friday and tested on Thursday the following week. Please can your child practice these every day. I will also be sending some number formation sheets home to practice number formation. Please can I also ask that you practice spelling both your first name and surname at home so you are able to log on to the computers successfully. 

Knowledge organisers are posted above for our topics so if you want to support your child at home please take a look at these :-) 

Many Thanks

Welcome to year 3 and 4!

Welcome to the new academic year Beech Class! I am so excited about the year ahead. 

Above you will find the yearly overview, knowledge organisers and also the statutory spelling list for year 3 and 4. There is also a copy of the weekly tables challenges should you want to practice at home! 

Homework is set on a Wednesday and is due in the following Thursday. This consists of weekly spellings to practice daily, times tables practice, daily reading and a 30 minute activity once a week. I usually set these on PurpleMash and TT rockstars, so will send log in reminders during the first week. Weekly spelling and times table challenges tests are on a Thursday morning. 

We don't have set PE days so PE kits need to be in school every day. It is a good idea to being it in on a Monday and take it home on a Friday, if it needs a wash. 

In Maths we are going to start with Place Value, which will form the foundations for the Maths throughout the year. Our first topic is Rivers, where we will get the opportunity to visit Alton Flood Meadows. In Art we will be exploring Tints and Tones. In Science we are going to explore Skeletons and movement in our first Biology topic of the year. 

As always please contact me if you have any questions.
