Welcome to Squirrel Class!  

                                                                 

We are a mixed Year 3 & 4 Class and Mrs Brinkworth is our teacher each Monday and Tuesday, and Mrs Banks is our teacher Wednesday to Friday.  

In Squirrel class, learning is engaging and exciting across the curriculum. We always try our hardest and challenge ourselves, whilst having fun at the same time! We are not afraid to make mistakes in our work as we see it as a learning opportunity.

Helping your child with their learning:

Reading: 

We encourage reading with an adult at least five times each week. Remember to record it in your reading record.  

Please continue to read to your child even when they can read themselves - it helps to develop their fluency and comprehension skills, and it's a special time to share together!

We encourage reading for pleasure:

What are your favourite things to read? Stories, comics, information texts, poems, recipes, online games, or something else? Where do you like to read - in bed, in the car, in the bath, in the garden, on the sofa or somewhere else?

Maths:

Times tables  Yr 3    at least x2, x3, x5, x4, x6, x8, x10

                        Yr 4    all times tables to 12

Times tables ideas for home - singing, chanting, or quizzes in the car to make car journeys fun!

This site has some great songs to help with times tables (but also with grammar and lots more):
