Year 3/4 Kites

Welcome to Year 3 and 4 Kite's Class Page

Welcome back everyone to the start of a new term. We have an exciting autumn term ahead of us in Kites with some terrific topics, brillant books plus much, much more. 

Please follow our school instagram page @abingdonprimaryschool to see updates of exciting things going on in our school! 

Class teachers: Mrs Sheehan (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and Mrs Brett (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday)

PE

This term we will be having PE on a Tuesday and a Friday this half term. Please can the children come to school in their kit in on those days. PE kit is white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit bottoms. 

Creative Curriculum

At Abingdon we follow a creative curriculum. This is split into 2 cycles. Cycle A and Cycle B.

Due to 3/4 Kites being a mixed age class coverage of the entire year 3 and 4 curriculum is met over a 2 year period through completion of the 2 cycles. 

Currently we are following Cycle B

Autumn Topic:

Stones 'n' Bones!

This term we will be learning all about the Stone Age and the Iron Age. This will be a historical study of early civilisations focusing on the Stone Age to the Iron Age, and the impact they have had. The study also links to rocks, fossils and geographical features.

Times tables

The children are expected to learn their times tables. We will help them do this in school but they are also expected to practise at home. They can use Times Table Rock Stars at home and in school to help them. Times tables are especially important for children as they move into Year 4 as they will be completing the Multiplication Tables Check in June after half term.

Year 3/4 Statutory Spellings

Below is a list of all spellings that all year 3/4 children should know how to read and write during Year 3 and by the end of year 4. Please practice these where possible. All will be sent throughout the year as weekly spelling practice and repeated to store them to memory.
