Otter

Welcome to Otter Class!  We are a fantastic mixed Year 3 and 4 class.  Miss Bliss is our teacher and we are very lucky to be joined by Mrs Eaton throughout the week.

 

Beautiful artwork created by children in Otter Class as part of our whole school theme, 'Trees'.

This term (Spring 2), as well as continuing with White Rose Maths and Literacy Curriculum (book based English units), we have lots of exciting learning opportunities planned.  Our history topic, ‘Anglo Saxons ’, will provide opportunities for children to learn more about how people lived in the past.  In DT, children will be making photo frames.   Our science topic is ‘’States of Matter" and children will learn about solids, liquids and gases. In our RE topic we will be learning about Christianity, reading some stories and exploring how Christians worship and celebrate.  Children will also learn about other religions and the similarities with Christianity. 

Spellings

Spellings will be sent out via ClassDojo every half term and spelling tests will take place every Friday.  Children can access spelling activities on the Spelling Shed website. In addition, you can also find the current spelling lists here:

Reading

Reading Diaries have been provided to help children and parents to keep track of, and celebrate, reading.  In order for us to celebrate reading in school please ensure that Reading Diaries are in school every day.  There will be prizes at the end of the year!

Maths

All children should use DoodleMaths at home as frequently as possible.  In addition, assignments will be set every week.  Please contact Miss Bliss if your child does not have their login details.  Mrs Beck hands out prizes every week for the top Doodlers!
