Swallows

It is amazing to be in Swallows' Class - my favourite thing about the class is all the kind people. The thing that makes it special being in Swallows' Class is that it is fun to learn!

 

Welcome to Swallows
Welcome to Swallows' Class - we are a mixed year group class of Years 3 and 4.  We are taught by Mrs Haq and Mrs Decena.  We also have Mrs Duke 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, you may send in a healthy snack for your child to eat at playtime.

Lunchtime is a little later, running from 12:30-1.30pm. 

Your child will no longer have an afternoon break time, but we ensure the children have plenty of opportunities to have active breaks throughout the day and we regularly go outside.  

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 3/4 will need to know how to spell the common exception words for their year groups. These can be found online and will be given to all children.

Timetables: Children should be practising their times tables 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.

Please make sure that long hair is tied up on PE days, and earrings, if worn, are removed. On PE days children will need to come into school in their PE kits and remain in them all day.

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 of songs and performances, in which all children across the Phase take part. Please don't miss it!
