Skylarks

Skylarks class is taught by Miss Bentley and Mrs Jenkins. We try our very best in Skylarks but we have fun along the way.  We aim to build confidence in everyone so that and enjoy seeing children learn and grow, watching them surprise themselves at just how amazing they are! 

 

Welcome to Skylarks

Welcome to Skylarks' Class - we are a mixed year group class of Years 3 and 4.  We are taught by Miss Bentley and Mrs Jenkins.  We also have Mrs Duke, Mrs Lowey and Mr Plummer to help us with our learning.

Moving from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2

If your child is moving from Year 2 to Year 3, please note that your child will no longer receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable at playtime. Alternatively, the school runs a tuck shop at playtime where they can purchase a healthy snack for 30p.

Lunchtime is a little later, running from 12:30-1.30pm. To contribute to our school values of teamwork and community, your child will take on additional roles on a rota basis during some lunchtimes, such as handing out and collecting toys to put away.

Your child will no longer have an afternoon break time, but we ensure the children have opportunities to be active in lessons and regularly go outside for the Golden Mile.

Homework

Reading :  Your child will take home their school reading book each day. We ask that they spend time reading at home each day and record their reading within their Reading Record book. We ask that your child brings their reading book and Reading Record book to school each day.   They can do tests on Accelerated Reader after finishing their books.

Spellings: Children in Year 3 and 4 will need to know how to spell the common exception words for their year group. These can be found online and will be given to all children. 

Timetables: Children should be practising their Timetables regularly. Children in Year 4 will complete an assessment at the end of the year. 

PE (PE kit)

To see when your child has PE please click on this link to view the PE timetable.

Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed in the appropriate kit on these days.  As the weather improves please can you ensure your child has their water bottle and has had sunscreen applied.

Please make sure that long hair is tied up on PE days, and earrings, if worn, are removed. 

Trips and Visits

The Summer term will see us learn about earthquakes, deserts and Islamic Civilisations. We will finish learning about the Romans and visit a museum to consolidate all the wonderful learning.  We will investigate different types of rocks and identify how they are created. We will have lots of fun swimming, playing rounders and singing Beatles music! 

Performances

Year 3 / 4 Production:  Each Spring, Year 3 / 4 produce a play, full of songs and performances, in which all children across the Phase take part. Please don’t miss it!
