Year 3 & 4
Welcome to Ash, Sycamore & Beech Class!
We’re really excited to have the children back in school with us! Our classes are taught by Mrs Silverthorn (Ash), Mrs Oakley and Miss Lockyer (Sycamore) and Mrs Bright and Mrs Eggleshaw (Beech). We’re lucky enough to have the Teaching Assistants Mrs Morris and Mrs Ross supporting year 3/4. We also have Zak from Bristol Sports coming in to coach the children. We’re extremely keen to get started on our new curriculum!
Terms 1 & 2 Global theme: Identity and Diversity
'How can we help people belong?'
During terms 1 & 2, we will learn about the journey of a river and begin to understand who we are and where we have come from. This will lead us to look at Bristol and understand who calls Bristol their home with a historical focus on the Windrush Generation and the Slave Trade. Finally, it will lead us to discover what the river brought and left in Bristol. Amongst all of this, we will look at our diverse culture and how we can help people belong.
We will be looking at several core texts in Literacy to better understand the journey of a river and the Windrush generation. The core texts include Henry's Freedom Box, Journey, and the Village that vanished.
