Welcome to Year 3 and 4!

There are three classes in years 3 and 4  (Cherry, Hazel and Willow), with approximately 30 children in each class. Both classes receive a carefully planned curriculum in line with the national curriculum expectations and to ensure that the older children are stretched and challenged. Learning is consistent in both classes, allowing collaborative work across the year group. The children work in mixed ability groups for all lessons with support put in place across the two classes as it is required. Maths is taught in the two separate year groups. 

Whiterose Maths is used to focus the teaching in mathematics, providing the children with clear visual models for mathematical concepts, a focus on fluency and the ability to apply their knowledge through reasoning and problem-solving activities. 
We use writing models to support our children in developing their understanding of different writing structures, and support this with whole class texts, ranging from Alice in Wonderland to How to Train Your Dragon.  

We work closely with families and can be contacted through ClassDojo. We value the support of families and acknowledge that it is only by working together that children are truly successful.
