Miss Libberton and Mrs Wolstenholme welcome you to Year 3 and 4 in Red Base!
Our school day starts at 8:40am when our classroom door will be open to welcome your child into school until 8:50am. Our school day ends at 3:20pm.
PE
Our PE days are Monday and Friday. Children need to come to school in their PE kit. Y4's will need their swimming kits on a Friday for their lessons which they will be leaving school for at 8:30am.
This includes:
Trainers
Dojo team coloured t-shirt
Black shorts/bottoms
Black zip up/jumper/hoodie
Please come and see me if you are unsure what team your child is in. Be aware your child needs long hair tied back and to be able to remove their own earrings on these days as well.
Reading
We love reading books from our year 3/4 reading spine. Regular reading at home really does help your children to become fluent confident readers. Therefore, we ask that they read at home at least 5 times in a week. This could be, for example, a school book, comic, magazine or recipe. We know that finding the time can be tricky but reading regularly at home really does make a difference. We kindly ask that your child brings their reading book and reading record in a book bag every day.
Spellings
We learn a new spelling rule each week which is on the termly homework sheet. You can support your child by playing spelling games and practicing writing the spellings - maybe in your fanciest coloured pens! In addition to this, they will also need to practise key words from the Year 3/4 Spelling List.
Maths
Regular times-table practise is really beneficial for your child as they progress in year 3 and 4. TTRockstars and Purple Mash is a good place to start: your child will have their own log in.
A new topic is introduced each half term. Your child will receive a Knowledge Organiser of important facts alongside a selection of topic related activities they can complete. During half term five we will be learning all about 'Extreme Earth.'
Take a look at our most recent learning...
In RE, we have looked at how different religions belief in God and why they are important to all of the religions- here is us sorting these into the different religions to see all the brilliant things we can remember.
In science this half term we have looked at what a plant needs to keep healthy and have done some observation over time and experiments to see what happens if we don’t give them what they need and why the stem is such an important part of a plant.
We have loved writing instructions in English for oat and ginger cookies and parkin which are both traditional Yorkshire recipes.
