CLASSES IN YEAR 3/4
YEAR 3/4 CURRICULUM
Each term our units are carefully planned to ensure all of the objectives for Year 3/4 are taught in an appropriate sequential order.
In addition, our Termly Curriculum Newsletter will also provide you with the key dates and an overview of all the exciting learning that will be taking place that term.
Maths:
English: We will be following the Pathways to Write scheme of work - details of the units that we will be covering can be found on the Year 3/4 curriculum overview.
Reading: All children will be encouraged to read, both at school and at home and will have access to appropriate reading ability level books from the school library.
Exposure to a wide range of authors is another key part in our young people becoming avid readers. If your child is stuck on what to read after they have finished a particular book, please have a look at the this fabulous guide provided by the Book Trust

Recommended Books for Year 3/4
Reading is a great way to improve learning progress in all curriculum areas. We understand it is often difficult for parents and carers to decide which books to buy for their children. The link above will take you to the Books for Topics Recommended Reads page.
REMINDERS
PE kits:
Everyday Essentials: Please make sure your child has a water bottle in school every day these can be refill in class if needed. Your child will also receive a new reading pouch, these must come to school everyday.
School Uniform: Please can you label all your children's belongings. We try to return lost items to children but this is becoming increasingly hard when items are not named.
Home Learning: All children will have a homework book that should be used for any homebased written work. They will be able to access their home learning through EdShed. If your child does not have the QR code then please get in touch with the class teacher.
HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD AT HOME
Reading - listen to your child read three times a week for at least 10 minutes, more if you can.
Maths - opportunities to practise our maths skills can be found everywhere, shops, car number plates, the park - all over. What maths can you make when you are with your child?
