Grosvenor - Year 3/4 2025 - 2026
Miss Zee Dempsey
Welcome to Grosvenor Class; the home of Year 3 and 4!
Our topic this term will be Our Wonderful World. We will explore key characteristics of physical geography, including climate zones, moutains, volcanoes, earthquakes and the water cycle. We will also explore the United kingdom, identifying both its human and physical characteristics. In History, we will examine Britain's settlement by the Anglo-Saxons and Scots.
In science we will be looking into Animals including Humans and Plants. We will explore and describe the basic parts of the human digestive system. We will also identify different types of human teeth and understand their simple functions. In addition, we will study plants, identifying their key parts, describing their functions, and understanding their basic requirments for growth.
In Religious Education we will be exploring the big questions, 'Which rules should we follow?" and "What is prayer?".

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 phonetically 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
