Foxes (Year 3/4) 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Foxes

Fox class is made up of 26 kind and caring individuals who shape our wonderful year 3 and 4 team. As a team, we encourage each other to be the best we can be, to embrace new opportunities and to be respectful and responsible global citizens. We do this through living out our Christian values: love & kindess, respect, friendship, equality, freedom & responsibility and justice.

Over the year there will be lots of opportunities for your child to take part in different activities, clubs and competitions as well as opportunities to be leaders. If you have any questions over the term, please do not hesitate to contact me by either calling, leaving a message on Class Dojo or emailing school. Please note, we endeavour to respond to messages and emails within 48 hours. Anything urgent, please call the office on 01829 720240

Homework

Children have many opportunities to practice and expand their learning at home.  Each week children will be expected to complete:

• Practise their times tables up to and including their 12’s
• Daily spelling practice (see Statutory word lists and termly spelling menus below)
• Times Table Rockstars will help with any homework related to maths and also prepare your child for the statutory multiplication test at the end of Year 4. Times Tables Rock Stars: Play
• To foster a love of reading, we encourage all pupils to take part in Strive-for-5, aiming to read at least five times a week at home. This regular reading habit strengthens fluency, comprehension, and enjoyment.
