Year 3 and 4

Autumn 2 2025

 

Class information

 

Year 3 / 4 is the lower key stage 2 class at Cambois Primary School. We are taught by Miss Mason and supported by Mrs Palmer, Miss McBriarty, Mrs Gooch and Mr Allan.

In the mornings, we have alternate guided reading/spelling and handwriting lessons followed by maths and literacy each day. We follow a creative curriculum in the afternoons, including Art, Music, Computing, Science, French and PSHE. 

 

Maths

 This half term, children will be consolidating their knowledge of the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, as well as moving onto learning the 4s and 7s. The main focus will be multiplication, problem solving and money in the real world.

Year 4s will be practicing all of their tables in preparation for the statutory tests towards the end of the academic year.

 

Literacy

 In autumn 2, we will be exploring poetry, looking at a range of poetry types to learn, read, perform and compose.
 
Oracy Skills within Literacy
 
In our class we have been working on building our oracy skills, engaging in a range of Literacy strategies such as hot seating, role playing, drama and performance to develop and support our writing. 
 
P.E 
 
Our P.E days in Year 3 and 4 are Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure your child arrives at school in the correct P.E kit. Children are currently learning both dance and perfroming with our instructor Sophie.
 
During Autumn 2, Year 4 children will be taking part in cycling.

Interconnected World

This project is linked to .

This essential skills and knowledge project teaches children about compass points and four and six-figure grid references. They learn about the tropics and the countries, climates and culture of North and South America. Children identify physical features in the United Kingdom and learn about the National Rail and canal networks. They conduct an enquiry to prove a hypothesis, gathering data from maps and surveys before drawing conclusions.

 History
 
We will be learning all about the vikings and their impact on Anglo Saxon life.
 
 
MFL - French
 
In French, we will be leaning all about musical instruments.
 
Computing
 
In computing this half term, we are focusing on e-mails and other forms of communication using our Purple Mash scheme of work. We don't just use this in computing: our teaching staff set cross-curricular games and quizzes to make learning fun and we get to tinker with our skills, which we love to do. We continue to use our Ipads for TTRS and Bedrock too!
