The children in Starlings and Swifts classes are very enthusiastic about their learning, and always strive to do their very best. As we progress through the year, we will be encouraging the children to become more independent and take responsibility for their own learning, through various ways, but ensuring we are following our school’s ‘Be a Star!’ values (Strength, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect).
The expectations of homework in Year 3 are as follows:
Children who are struggling to complete the homework need to speak to their class teacher before it is due, to ensure enough time for support to be given.
The children will participate in two PE lessons every week on Wednesday mornings lead by class teachers, and on a Friday, afternoon will be taught by Miss Barton. Please ensure your child has their P.E. kit in school on these days (and that it is suitable for the changeable weather- some units of learning are led outside, even in the colder and wetter months). Children with longer hair should have their hair tied up please, and any earrings need to be removed.
To minimise cases of lost property, please ensure all items of clothing are named.
This is subject to change when the children start swimming – more details to follow.

The Kingfishers and Woodpeckers are two classes full of fabulous Year 4 children who pride themselves on being excellent role models and upholding the school’s ‘Be a Star!’ Values. Our children are ambitious, show strength of character, work well as both individuals and part of a team and show respect to both adults and their peers.
The children will participate in two PE lessons every week on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
The children’s first PE lesson of the week (Tuesday PM) will be taught by Mrs Lockwood and Mrs Hill. In this lesson, the children will learn a range of sporting skills and develop their understanding of dance and competitive games. The children’s second PE lesson of the week will take place on a Wednesday afternoon and will be taught by a sports coach. In these lessons, the children will learn a number of ‘Team Games’ to help develop their ‘teamwork’ and ‘sportsmanship’ skills.
When taking part in PE lessons, we ask that long hair is tied back and all jewellery, including earrings, must be removed.
All children must wear school PE kit, which consists of:
Children in Year 4 will receive two pieces of written homework per week to be completed in addition to daily reading and playing TTRS (for a minimum of 30 minutes per week). Homework will be given out on Fridays to be returned the following Friday.
Weekly homework includes:
If your child is struggling to complete the homework set, then they should talk to any member of the Year 4 team before the homework due date and support will be provided.
