The Cathedral School

Welcome to Years 3 and 4

 
Thank you for taking the time to visit our page. Please check our class pages regularly for updates of what we have been learning in class and the curriculum being taught. You will also find copies of letters sent home, home learning links and photos of our lessons. 
PE
PE kits will need to be worn to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 
In PE, students are developing their dodgeball skills and taking part in 'Dance Around the World' activities. This introduces movement styles from different cultures.
Science
This term, the children have been learning all about the digestive system and have enjoyed discovering how our bodies process the food we eat.
Spanish
In Spanish, they are broadening their vocabulary and growing in confidence as they use new words and phrases in class.
RE
In RE, we are exploring the importance of Mass and why it holds a central place in our Catholic faith.
History
In History, the children are excited to be travelling back in time as we study life from the Stone Age all the way through to the Iron Age!
Home Learning

In Years 3 and 4, there is an expectation that children read at home four times each week, with each session recorded in their reading record. If a child forgets their book or finishes one quickly, we encourage them to choose another text to enjoy at home—this could be anything from a gaming magazine to a sports review or even a recipe book!

Homework is set every Monday and should be returned the following Monday. Alongside this, please log in to Edshed during the week so your child can enjoy the spelling games and feel confident for their spelling test on Friday.

In addition to reading and spelling, your child will receive a weekly piece of maths homework. Becoming fluent in their times tables is especially important at this stage, so please continue to support them in regularly using Times Tables Rock Stars.

If your child needs any help or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on Class Dojo—I’m always happy to support.
