Welcome to the Hedgehogs' Class Page! 

Welcome to the Hedgehogs' class page. This half term, we are heading back in time to the Stone Age! 

Stone Age - Changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age

Who first lived in Britain?

In Y3/4 Hedgehogs, that is what we plan to find out this half term. We will look at what we mean by prehistoric Britain, what we can deduce about the Stone Age using primary sources, what houses and food were like in the Stone Age and finally, the developments that were made during the Stone Age.

We will be trying to answer this question and explore the theme of the Stone Age through our History, English, Science and DT lessons.

Please see downloads below to download this term's topic map and knowledge organiser. 

English: This half term, we will be writing historical narratives based on our class text, 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura.

Maths: In Maths, we will be continuing our learning about multiplication and division, before moving onto learning about area.

Year 3/4 Staff:

We are very lucky to have our amazing staff team in Y3/4 to support the children and help them grow:

Mrs Fields: Class teacher (Monday - Thursday)

Mrs McDonough: Class teacher (Friday)

Mrs Mullock: Teaching assistant (Monday - Friday)

Information:

P.E Sessions:

For the Spring term, we ask that children can please come to school in their P.E. kits on P.E. days, which are on Mondays and Tuesday.

During this half-term, Year 4 swimming lessons will be taking place every Monday afternoon.

Homework Explained

Class Dojo homework:

This can be found on the homework tab at the top of this page. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo Points to convert in our shop at the end of term. We will also be having an afternoon to celebrate all the children have achieved. 

Weekly Spellings:

Your child will be receving their spellings weekly. Spellings will be given out on a Thursday and will be tested the following Thursday. 

Maths Homework:

The children in Y3/4 class are expected to be regularly logging onto MyMaths and completing activities that have been set. These will be linked to what we are learning in class.

Times Tables:

Your child will be given a login for Times Tables Rock stars, an exciting online tool to help them to learn times tables. Your child will have a weekly times tables test on a Friday and we thank you in advance for your support in helping them to prepare for this. 

Reading:

Your child has a school reading book which is either a colour banded book or a free reading book. They also have an individual reading journal. Please can we encourage as much reading at home as possible and a comment written from you when you can. Thank you.
