Grosvenor - Year 3/4 2025 - 2026
Miss Zee Dempsey
Welcome to Grosvenor Class; the home of Year 3 and 4!
To begin our Autumn term this year, our topic will be The Land of Legends. We will learn about Ancient Greece – a study of Greek life and achievements and their influence on the western world.
In science we will be looking into Light. We will recognise that we need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light. We will also investigate Electricity. We will construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
In Religious Education we will be exploring the big questions, 'How do people of faith say thank you to God for the harvest?' and 'How do people of faith say thank you to God for the harvest?'
Grosvenor PE Sessions
This term PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
Grosvenor Outdoor Learning Session
This year Grosvenor's outdoor learning will be on a Friday. Please remember to bring your base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a separate bag.
Grosvenor Home Learning
Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings are available on the class page. We will have a spelling test and a 20 in 20 test each Friday.
Children are expected to read every night and are able to change their books when required. Each child can choose up to 4 books to take home at one time and they will be given a phonietically decodable book (if required) by their teacher. The decodeable book should be read multiple times to help develop fluency and expression. They should complete one of the reading comprehension tasks from the back of their reading record each week. Reading records should be brought into school every day and will be checked weekly.
Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club and Times Tables Rockstars. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.
Phonics/Spelling
Please refer to the “phonics” section of our website: Saighton C of E Primary School Phonics - ELS
Here you will find lots of useful resources to help support your child with their phonics/spelling journey.
