Welcome to Chough Class!
In Chough Class (Choughs are the black birds in our school emblem), we have our fantastic Year 3 and 4 children! Our teacher is Mrs Elsden and our teaching assistants are Mrs Jones and Mrs Blake. We have a lovely classroom with large windows looking out over the Church.
Termly Topics
Homework
Homework is based on our class book and the Wonderful Wiltshire geography and science topics this term. The children are expected to complete two of the tasks – one writing task and one creative task. (You do not need to complete them all!). There is the option to a complete a project of your choice, as long as it links to our topic. When you have finished your work please bring it in to share.
Please encourage your child to read regularly for pleasure and record this in the reading records.
Times tables is really important in Chough Class and by the end of Year 4 the children should know their tables up to 12. See the maths resources below to help.
