Badger Class

WELCOME TO YEAR 3 and 4!

Badger class is taught by Mrs Naylor and Mrs Fox . Mrs Nelson will be supporting us in our Maths lessons. 

WHAT WILL WE BE LEARNING?

Here’s a sneak peek at all the exciting things we’ll be exploring:

Maths – We’ll be diving into multiplication, division, and telling the time. This is a great opportunity to practise times tables at home, every bit of practice makes a difference!

English – Our writing will be inspired by a variety of wonderful books. We’ll also continue our popular Free Write sessions, where we’ll focus on developing grammar and writing skills creatively.

Science – This term’s topics are forces and plants. We’ll be carrying out investigations and learning about the world around us through hands-on activities.

History – We’ll travel back in time to explore the Roman Empire and discover the impact it had on Britain, expect some fascinating facts and stories!

Art – Inspired by nature, we’ll be getting creative with collages and mosaics.

Geography – Our focus will be on oceans: how they’re used, what lives in them, and why they’re so important to our planet.

Design & Technology – From 2D to 3D! We’ll be designing and creating products, learning how to bring our ideas to life through practical design skills.

PE – This term we’re focusing on striking games, developing our coordination, teamwork, and tactical thinking.

Computing – We’ll begin exploring how to create different types of media, combining creativity with digital skills.
