Cliddesden Primary School

Welcome to Chestnut Class.  We are a mixed Year 3 and 4 class and we range from 7 to 9 years old.  Our class teacher is Mrs. Montgomerie and our class LSA is Mrs. Dovey. On Wednesday afternoons we are taught by Mrs. Jordan and Mr. Buckley.

We will be learning about the Vikings in History this term.  We will also be learning about shadows created by 3D objects in Art, where alongside practising our photography skills, we will study the work of the modern artist Kumi Yamashita.  In Science we will learn more about electrical circuits, conductors and insulators, and after half-term we will find out how shadows are created.  Our Computing work this term will help us to control a digital turtle using text-based commands, and in Geography we will find out about Las Vegas.  We will also learn about describing people in French, and knowing how to name body parts.

Class Information:

Please encourage your child to read to you daily.  They will benefit from regularly discussing the vocabulary and content of their book with an adult, so if you read to them, please discuss the storyline and any unfamiliar words that they might hear.

Times tables should also be practised regularly at home (using the Times Tables Rockstars website) as the children will not only need to use these skills in their Maths learning, but also in preparation for the Year 4 multiplication test. SumDog activities will also be set for children to complete during the week. 

PE is on Wednesday and Friday.  On Wednesday, all children should come to school in their uniform and bring their kit with them.  On Friday, we would like the children to wear their PE kits to school.  They do not need a change of clothes.
