Classes Year 3/4 2022/2023

Our Classes and Teachers 

Attenborough Class - Miss Booth 

Earle Class - Mrs Cooke 

English - Talk for Writing

We use talk for writing in English to teach writing, using various fiction and non-fiction texts. This process goes through several stages, enabling children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version. 

 

Our texts for the Spring term are:

How to trap a Stone Giant (Instructions)

Violent Volcano (News report)

 

English - Reading

We use VIPERS in reading lessons and our current book is Ice Palace by Robert Swindells.

Please use this document when you read with your children at home.

Project - How do natural disasters lead to change?
