Year 3 and 4
Welcome to Willow Class
Welcome to Willow Class - We are a mixed age Year 3 and 4 class. We are the lower part of Key Stage 2.
Children in our class are 7-9 years old
We have two main class teachers: Mrs Mitchell (Monday, Tuesday and the first part of Wednesday morning) and Mrs Thomas (the second part of Wednesday morning and the afternoon, Thursday and Friday). As well as our main class teachers we have specialist teachers who deliver some of our learning: Mr Wilson teach PE and Mrs Crawley teaches Art.
We are supported in class by our teaching assistants - Mrs Bean and Miss Scrivens and sometimes Mrs Blowers comes in to help us too.
Within year 3 and 4 we learn English and mathematics most mornings. Our English sessions include time spent on reading, writing, speaking and listening and spelling. Our maths sessions follow a mastery curriculum working through addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, measure, geometry and times tables. Our mathematics curriculum teaches a mixture of fluency, reasoning and problem solving. In our afternoon sessions we learn a further range of subjects; topic (including history or geography), science, music, French, PE, art, RE, PSHE and we take part in gardening sessions as part of a whole school timetable. Each term we are invited to attend at least one after school sports club and have the option of learning guitar in school with a specialist guitar teacher - Mr Murphy, or learning piano.
You can find out more about our topics and areas of learning by exploring the curriculum overviews and long term plans. There is also more detail about our areas of learning in our class newsletters.
