Welcome to the Hedgehogs' Class Page! 

Welcome to the Hedgehogs' class page. This half term, we are continuing our learning all about Ancient Egypt! 

History - Ancient Egypt

Were the Ancient Egyptians more advanced than we are?

In Y3/4 Hedgehogs, that is what we plan to find out more about this half term. We will look at the pyramids, mummification, hieroglyphics, Ancient Egyptian beliefs about the after life, facts about Tutankhamun and much more! We will also discuss how life in Ancient Egypt compares to life today and how advanced the Ancient Egyptians were, in comparison to life in the Stone Age.

We will be trying to answer this question and explore the theme of Ancient Egypt and exciting journeys through our History, English, Music and DT lessons.

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

English: This half term, we will be exploring persuasive writing based on our class text, 'Zeraffa Giraffa' by Dianne Hofmeyr.

Maths: In Maths, we will be continuing our learning about fractions, before moving onto decimals, time and money.

Mrs Fields: Class teacher (Monday - Thursday)

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 Magma Maths 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.
