Welcome to Hazel Class
In Hazel class we are proud to be a supportive and enthusiastic team. We encourage one another to be the best we can be, celebrating effort, kindness, and curiosity. In Year 3/4, the children will dive into exciting topics through hands-on activities, write imaginative stories, explore the world beyond the classroom on trips, and even begin learning French.
Our day
Mornings generally consist of English and Maths lessons, broken into different focus areas. In English, children will explore spelling, grammar and punctuation, reading comprehension, and writing. For Maths, there will be a daily arithmetic focus session, followed by a longer lesson aligned with the NCETM overview. After lunch, children will join Sycamore class to be taught one or two foundation subjects, which may include Art, Music, French, RE, Geography, History, PE, PSHE, DT, or Science.
Our PE day is Monday.
Morning Break: 10:30 – 10:45
Lunchtime: 12:15 – 13:15
Homework & Reading
Set: Friday
Due: following Thursday
Homework will include one piece of Maths work each week, directly linked to what we’re learning in class. In addition, children will complete a grammar or reading task, again connected to our current learning. Homework will be sent home in a personal folder, which should be returned and refilled weekly. We recommend completing homework early in the week, so children have time to ask for help or request replacements if needed.
Reading is vital in not only developing and expanding children's vocabulary but also in developing their imagination and own storytelling skills. Please try to read with your child at least four times a week. Reading records will be checked on a Friday.
