Welcome to our class page!

Year 3/4 is an exciting year at St Nicholas, which encourages the children to develop independence and confidence within Lower Key Stage Two. This year is packed with lots of fun and exciting opportunities for the children!

Come and take a look at all the exciting things we have been doing throughout the year. On this page, you will find copies of the termly topic leaflets, homework and spellings as well as links to key online learning resources.

Homework and Spellings

Children will receive a homework leaflet at the beginning of each term detailing each week's maths focus which will be set on Mathletics as well as the term's project. A spelling overview sheet will also be sent home with an overview of the spellings that will be tested each week. 

Spelling and maths homework will be set every Tuesday whereas the project focus is an ongoing activity which can be brought into school at the end of term. 

As well as practising your weekly spellings, children will also be tested on their statutory spelling list. These words may form part of your weekly spellings but are also tested every term. You will recieve a copy of these highlighted with the words your child has spelled correctly.

Don't forget to access our online applications. All children have recieved their passwords. Please ask if you need them again.

What a great start to the year already! Keep your eye out as we will be adding some of the wonderful activities we have been getting up to. 

The Stone Age

In English, we will be reading 'Stone Age Boy,' and producing a range of written pieces based on our learning. Look out for our persuasive leaflets advertising a new stone age village...		We took part in a VR experience based on the Stone Age.
	As part of our experience day in English, we became Stone Age people and created our own 'Cave Art.' We really tried to get into character by creating caves with our tables.

Our current Guided Reading book is...

Why not ask me some of the following questions:

 Where does this story take place? Would you like to live there?

If you could meet any of the characters from the story, who would it be and why?

Why do you think Michael Morpurgo chose to write about this specific topic? 

What word would best describe the main character? Find evidence from the story to support your answer.

 What is the main message of the story? Have you learnt anything from the book?

Would you recommend this book to others? Who do you think would enjoy it and why?

 Michael Morpurgo often uses things that have happened in real-life as inspiration for the events in his stories. Do you recognise anything from the story that has happened in your life?

October is the month of the Rosary

We have been taking part in the Rosary Challenge set by Mark 10 Mission. We have really enjoyed taking part in reciting the decades each day and learning all about the different events in the life of Jesus. We have even had a go at creating our own class set of Rosary Beads in our RE lesson this week.
