Welcome to the Hedgehogs' Class Page! 

Welcome to the Hedgehogs' class page. This half term, we are heading to the Arctic circle! 

Finland and the Arctic circle

Why might someone choose to live in Finland?

In Y3/4 Hedgehogs, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we head to the Arctic circle. We will look at the countries that lie in the Arctic circle before we take a deep dive into Finland. We will explore Finland's physical and human features and learn about what life is like there and why someone would choose to live in Finland.

We will be trying to answer this question and the theme of wintry landscapes through our Geography, English and Art lessons.

Please see downloads below to download this term's topic map and knowledge organiser. 

English: This half term, we will be writing narratives based on our class text, 'Winter's Child' by Angela McAlliser.

Maths: In maths, we will be continuing our learning about addition and subtraction. We will be looking at how to use column addition and subtraction effectively.

Year 3/4 Staff:

We are very lucky to have our amazing staff team in Y3/4 to support the children and help them grow:

Mrs Fields: Class teacher (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday)

Mrs Agnew: Class teacher (Thursday)

Miss Ollerton: Teaching assistant (Monday - Friday)

Information:

P.E Sessions:

For the Autumn term, we ask that children can please come to school in their P.E. kits on P.E. days, which are on Mondays and Tuesday. 

Homework Explained

Class Dojo homework:

This can be found on the homework tab at the top of this page. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo Points to convert in our shop at the end of term. We will also be having an afternoon to celebrate all the children have achieved. 

Weekly Spellings:

Your child will be receving their spellings weekly. Spellings will be given out on a Friday and will be tested the following Friday. 

Maths Homework:

The children in Y3/4 class are expected to be regularly logging onto MyMaths and completing activities that have been set. These will be linked to what we are learning in class.

Times Tables:

Your child will be given a login for Times Tables Rock stars, an exciting online tool to help them to learn times tables. Your child will have a weekly times tables test on a Friday and we thank you in advance for your support in helping them to prepare for this. 

Reading:

Your child has a school reading book which is either a colour banded book or a free reading book. They also have an individual reading journal. Please can we encourage as much reading at home as possible and a comment written from you when you can. Thank you.
