Welcome to Year 3/4 Peridot!
In Year 3/4 Peridot our class teacher is Miss Cooper and we share Mrs Smith and Miss Jamil for our teaching assistants. We have so much planned for this year. There will be lots to learn in our English, Maths and curriculum lessons.
Reading
Reading is very important to us in Year 3/4 and we read every day. There will be reading skills lessons and a reading phase in our English lessons. We love to read for pleasure therefore; we get to pick our own tray book from either our school library or our class-reading corner. Our year group Authors that we will look at together are:
We will also be bringing home a banded reading book and a reading for pleasure book to share with our families.
Our book bags need to be brought into school every day.
We also get a chance throughout the year to read lots of different books in our English lessons and our DEAR time (drop everything and read.) Here are some pictures of the texts we will read this year:
Classroom jobs
We have monitors in our classroom for milk, the register, handing out resources etc. This is changed every week to give every child a chance to take responsibility for something in our classroom. Year 3/4 Peridot believe in team work and are always helping each other in any way that they can.
P.E
Our P.E lessons are on a Tuesday and Friday afternoon. Friday, we use the P.E hall and Tuesday we go outside. We will be focusing lots on our fitness ability through playing many different sports games, which will also enable us to demonstrate our team playing skills.

Homework
Our homework is due every Friday. We are trying to become more independent in Year 3/4 and therefore are responsible for making sure that our own homework is in by Friday registration ready for marking. New homework will be given every Half Term on Seesaw. By the end of Year 3/4, we need to be able to read and spell all of the statutory spelling for Year 3/4 words. Year 3 children will need to know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables and Year 4 Children need to know all times tables up to 12.
