This is Colgate's Year 3 and 4 class with all of our Year 3 children and half of our Year 4 children.
Miss Knight is the class teacher and Mrs Killner is the HLTA.
Our theme for Summer 2025 is:
A life a million miles away from home...

In English, the Year 3 children will be studying the text 'The Iron Man' and the Year 4 children will be looking at 'The Explorer' to inform their writing this term.
Our whole class reads will include 'Sam Wu is NOT afraid of ghosts' and 'The girl who stole an elephant'.
As part of our Geography learning, we will be visiting Wakehurst Place to find out more about rainforests through workshops during the day.
Photos of us on our learning journey will be uploaded onto Seesaw regularly. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Knight via Seesaw.

Curriculum links for English and Maths for Years 3 and 4
Please find below links to the National Curriculum with objectives for Years 3 and 4. This is what is covered over the year and what your child should know by the end of Year 3 or Year 4.
Please note, the English overview is a 2 year cycle covering both Years 3 and 4, therefore, these objectives are based on what your child should know by the end of Year 4.
Miss Wilson, our Year 6 class teacher and Maths subject lead, has created some great videos which will walk you through to explain how we teach the written method for the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), of which some videos are relevant to the Year 3 and 4 Maths curriculum.
