Chestnut Class (Y3/4) - Mrs Blackham/Miss Lloyd
Class 2 2024-25
Welcome back Chestnut Class!
It's now Summer Term One and even though it's a short half term, it's going to be a busy one! We hope you had a brilliant Easter holiday and you're raring to go for all the learning with have in store for the next few weeks. This half term we are going to be learning about sound in Science, Brazil in Geography and Islam in R.E, amongst many other topics in other subjects. Our text in English, Egyptology by Dugald Steer, will bridge back to our History work on the Egyptians last half term and in Maths, we are learning about the 3, 6 and 9 times tables. Miss Moores will be teaching R.E and Music on Tuesday afternoons and be continuing to deliver interventions in the afternoons. Mrs Munro and Mrs Knapper will also be taking some children for interventions each afternoon.
As always, the door is always open if you have any questions!
Our Summer One 2025 Curriculum Overview
General Reminders:
- The children will be doing PE on Tuesday and Thursday. On these days, the children need to come to school in their PE kits.
- The children can bring their own water bottles into school which they have access to throughout the day. These will come home daily to be washed out. Please make sure that all water bottles are clearly named.
- Please ensure that your child has suitable footwear in school (old trainers/wellies etc) as we go outside on the field regularly.
What does Chestnut Class look like?
Chestnut Class is our Lower Key Stage 2 class, home to the Year 3 and 4 children.
Our classroom is a bright, happy and interesting place to learn. We have an English and Maths Working Wall which the children use to help them with their learning. We also have a cosy reading area where you will see the children reading for pleasure, cuddling up for story time and recommending books to their friends.
Class 2 follows a curriculum cycle over two years to ensure continuity and progression in a mixed-age class. This year, we will be covering Cycle B. You can find the curriculum and other links to support learning below.
