Cliddesden Primary School

Welcome to Chestnut Class.  We are a mixed Year 3 and 4 class and we range from 7 to 9 years old.  Our class teacher is Mrs. Montgomerie and our class LSA is Mrs. Dovey. On Thursday afternoons we are taught by Mrs. Dovey and Mr. Buckley.

We will be learning about the Tudors in History this term and finding out why Henry VIII married six times.  We will also be learning about the work of Megan Coyle in Art, where we will find out more about the vivid animal images she created.

This will complement our Science work this term, where we will be finding out about the animals that live in the biomes of the world.  In Geography, we will extend this knowledge to find out more about the biomes of the world.  In Computing, we will be creating digital images and using our coding skills to create a game using loops in the code.

Class Information:

Please encourage your child to read to you daily.  They will benefit from regularly discussing the vocabulary and content of their book with an adult, so if you read to them, please discuss the storyline and any unfamiliar words that they might hear.

Times tables should also be practised regularly at home (using the Times Tables Rockstars website) as the children will not only need to use these skills in their Maths learning, but also in preparation for the Year 4 multiplication test. SumDog activities will also be set for children to complete during the week. 

PE is on Thursday and Friday.  On Thursday, all children should come to school in their uniform and bring their kit with them.  On Friday, we would like the children to wear their PE kits to school.  They do not need a change of clothes.
