Please scroll down to find our 'Topic Webs' which give a detailed outline as to what Stoats will be learning each term.
Below is some useful information about our class.
Home learning
- Each Monday, children will be set maths home learning in their White Rose maths book to be completed by the following Monday.
- Every Monday, children will be set 5 spellings from the Year 3 and 4 statutory words list, on which they will be tested on the following Tuesday. Their scores will then be recorded in their spelling record. If they achieve 5 out of 5, they will receive a special spelling superstar sticker.
- Children should read their reading book at home every day. This will help them to learn new words, improve their comprehension skills, and develop their love of reading.
- Children should complete Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes at home on the books they read, within 24 hours of finishing a book. If your child is finding it difficult to access AR at home, please speak to Mr Farrant or Miss Winslade.
- To take Accelerated Reader quizzes, visit: https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/8045754 . It would be beneficial to save this link as a bookmark.
- Children should use Times Table Rockstars for at least 5 minutes every day, 5 days a week, to improve speed and recall of multiplication facts.
P.E.
- Children need to come to school wearing their P.E. kit on a Monday.
- Please remember to remove any earrings before coming to school.
Forest School
- Your child will attend a forest school session on a Friday, once every two weeks.
- Clothing will be kept at school.
- Children should have wet weather suits for these sessions to ensure that they are covered and safe.
- Children are split into either Group A or Group B.
- Children will be getting their wet weather suits muddy! This is all part of the forest school experience. We are developing children's outdoor experiences and resilience.
