Year 3 and 4
Summer 1 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, and Miss Routledge (on Thursdays). We also have Mrs Gooch supporting us this half term and we love having her in class!
In the morning, we have a phonic and alternate guided reading/spelling lesson followed by maths and literacy lesson each day. We follow a creative curriculum in the afternoon, including Art, Music, computing, French and PSHE.
Maths
In Summer 1, children will be consolidating their knowledge on fractions before progressing onto decimals, engaging in a range of both fluency and reasoning tasks to ensure deeper understanding. They will also be looking at capacity and mass. and time. We also have the privilege of continuing to be a selected pilot school of Mastering Number from NCETM. This supports children with their multiplication skills, alongside our Timetable Rockstars app which the children have logins for and challenge each other - and their teachers - to competitions. Year 4 children are also practicing their tables via TTRS Sound check, which mimics the times table test which they will complete in Summer 2. This term we will be consolidating all the times tables in a variety of ways to support their understanding of number.
Literacy
We are continuing our focus on the text 'Macavity' by T.S.Eliot, and will be engaging in range of creative writing opportunities.
