Welcome to Larches (Yr 3 & 4)

Summer 2025 

Wow, I can't believe we are entering the summer term. We have learnt so much this year and this term we have even more to learn. 

Our new topic is focusing in the rainforest. (please see overview below)

Here are a few important dates and reminders 

* This year, sports day will be over two afternoons. (Also it is before may half term)

Sports day afternoons are on Tuesday 20th May which is in school and then please join us on Thursday 22nd May at the village hall for races to cheer your child on.

Please join us and hope for a dry day. 

Your child should know their house colours and ideally they need to wear the team colour. 

* Please bring your bookbag daily and your children needs to read regularly at home. 

* We are focusing on our multiplications and we have the assessment after may half term (Year 4s) 

* Please label clothes, especially your child's jumper and hat. Your child may need sun-cream but this has to have your child's name on and it can not be shared.  Your child needs a drink bottle in to keep them hydrated during the day. 

* In KS2, we don't provide snack so please provide a health snack for morning play. 

* PE is still on a Monday and Tuesday afternoons and they will need a hat because we will be outside 

I will post photographs during the team so remember to check back on our class page. 

Thank you for your support

This term our topic will be Stone Age so please look at our topic web for more details. (which is attached below) 

Please remember to read regularly at home and record this in your child's reading record, as I will be monitoring this. 

Children will also be bring home spelling regularly which will be class (everyone has the same) and personal spelling.  These will be in their bag. Your child will need to look at the word, read it, then cover the word, once the word is covered write the word and check whether you have written it correctly.   Some ideas to help learn spellings are-

-rainbow write the words,

-large bubble write the word and then fill the word in

-write the words in silly sentences

-make up rhymes about the words (Mnemonics) to help learn the new word.

The class would love to hear your rhymes or method which you are using

To support your child math learning at home, please continue to help them with their KIRFs target (attached are the targets) 

As always we are a busy classroom with lots of learning in different locations, so please can you label jumpers, coats, snack box and drink bottles as this will be w wonderful help. 

PE is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday afternoons but it may change. 

If any parents or grandparents wish to volunteer for an afternoon to hear readers or to help with a subject then please come and have a chat. 

I love taking photographs so you can see your children's learning so please keep looking at this class page regularly. 

I am looking forward to working together
