Welcome to Year Three/Four 

In Year 3/4 this year we have three mixed classes: 

3/4T (Tigers), 3/4SL (Snow Leopards) and 3/4O (Orangutans)

In the Tigers class Miss Peel is the class teacher. 

In the Snow Leopards class Ms Fenn and Miss Booth are the class teachers. 

In the Orangutans Miss Hardwick is the class teacher. 

We are lucky enough to have our Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants helping with our learning: Mrs Bent, Mrs Wainright, Mrs Wilkie and Ms Green. Mrs Harper and Mr Woods will also be teaching in our classes every week.
 

Throughout the year, children will have lots of opportunities to interact with children and adults across the two year groups.

At Kegworth Primary School we follow the National Curriculum. This is a large document which can be found online and details what should be covered in the curriculum at Primary School. The topic web below details more information about what the children are being taught each year.

For Maths lessons, the pupils will be separated into their year groups. All other lessons will be taught in mixed Y3/Y4 classes with their class teacher. 

We will be continuing to develop our character muscles in many different ways, and through a range of critical thinking questions we become amazing scientists, historians, geographers, artists and designers. 

Children will have two PE sessions per week, run by the class teacher or Mr Woods. All children in years 3/4 have a PE session: 3/4O and 3/4T on Mondays and Wednesdays; 3/4SL on Wednesdays and Fridays. Children can come into school in their PE kit on their allocated PE days. PE kit needs to be weather appropriate as sessions may be outdoors.

For their homework, children need to complete three pieces of reading, which will be logged using Boom Reader, Times Tables Rockstar and Spelling Shed. For these foundational skills to have an impact, little and often is more effective. All three elements of homework is monitored by the class teachers to ensure access is happening at home. 

Multiplication is particularly important in Years Three and Four and time on TT Rockstars at home is strongly recommended. 

Weekly pre-learning is sent to parents/ carers every Friday for the week ahead to pass on information about what your child will be learning. 

Please check our Facebook page and pre-learning information for updates, information and photos about what our classes have been learning in school. 

If you have any questions or queries please speak to a member of staff at the start or end of school- we are always more than happy to help.

We are looking forward to the year ahead filled with lots of learning and lots of fun! 

The Year Three/Four Team.
