Welcome to the Hedgehogs' Class Page! 

Welcome to the Hedgehogs' class page. This half term we are heading to Ancient Rome to learn about life for the Romans. We will be focussing on the book: Escape from Pompeii

The Romans

Who were the Romans and what did they do for us?

In Y3/4 Hedgehogs, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we head back in time to Ancient Rome. We will be exploring what life was like to be a Roman solider as well as considering what the Romans did for us here in Britain. 

We will be trying to answer this question through our history lessons. 

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

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Escape from Pompeii' and will be creating characters, settings and a plot to create our own historical narrative. 

Maths: In maths, we will be furthering our knowledge of multiplication and division before exploring measurement and area.

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 Friday 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 set by Mrs Croft and Mrs Agnew. 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.
