Welcome to Class 3 – The Hedgehogs

Mrs Trevenna is our teacher and Mrs Beswick is our TA. On Tuesday afternoons, Mrs Lyons will be teaching in Class 3. 

During our morning lessons, the children take part in maths, reading skills and English. 

In the afternoons, children take part in a range of lessons covering the wider curriculum, including science, history, geography, RE, RSHE, music, DT and art. 

PE lessons take place on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, so please make sure your child has their PE kit in school on these days. We will be taking part in swimming lessons on Thursdays so please make sure children have their swimming bags and towels with them. 

On Mondays, the children have a weekly spelling test based on the words that they have been given to practise at home.

Homework will be sent home weekly on a Monday to be completed by the following Monday. Any children who have struggled will be offered support in school.

Children need to bring their reading books and planners every day as children may get an opportunity to read to an adult at some point during the week. Please aim to read with your child at least 3x a week at home and complete their planner to show this. Have a look at our virtual bookshelf below for some fantastic books that you can read together at home. Open the link at the bottom of the page (Virtual Bookshelf - in the yellow box) to be able to click on the book covers and be taken straight to the texts. 

This year, we have introduced the Zones of Regulation to teach students how to identify their emotions, understand how those feelings affect their behaviour, and use tools to manage their reactions in healthy ways. The Zones of Regulation helps children (and parents!) develop emotional awareness and practical strategies to stay calm, focused, and in control. Please see the presentation below for further information.

At the end of Y4, the children take the Multiplication Check (MTC) which they will complete online. They will have 6 seconds to answer each multiplication question. 

Children can also practise their times tables on the following websites:
