Welcome to Class 3 – The Hedgehogs!

Mrs Trevenna is our class teacher. This year, we are also pleased to welcome Miss Smith, who is a trainee teacher working with us in Class 3.

We will be supported by Miss Robbins, our HLTA, during the mornings. On Thursday afternoons, Mrs Lyons will be teaching in Class 3.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, fun and exciting experiences together!

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. These include Science, History, Geography, RE, RSHE, Music, Design and Technology (DT), and Art.

Through these subjects, children will develop their knowledge, skills and understanding while enjoying a variety of exciting and engaging learning experiences.

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. From January 2027, we will be taking part in swimming lessons on a Thursday so please make sure children have their swimming bags and towels with them on this day. 

Children should bring their reading book and reading record into school every day, as they may have the opportunity to read with an adult during the week.

We ask that you aim to read with your child at least three times a week at home and record this in their reading record. Regular reading at home is a fantastic way to build confidence, develop vocabulary and support your child’s reading progress.

Why not explore our Virtual Bookshelf below for some fantastic books that you can enjoy reading together at home?

Simply open the link at the bottom of the page, “Virtual Bookshelf” in the yellow box. You can then click on the book covers to be taken straight to the online 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.
