Class 3 – Year 3 / 4
Welcome to Class 3
Welcome to Class 3's page (Year Three and Year Four). I, Mrs Speed, am excited to be able to teach in Class 3 again this year. Some of the children, and yourselves, may still refer to me as Miss Latham, don't worry, I will answer to both. Year 3 and 4 are my favourite year groups to teach, I enjoy the wider curriculum and getting to explore new vocabulary in every lesson. I mostly enjoy keeping learning fun, exploring ways to best help to retain our knowledge and on the occasion, breaking into song. Within school I'll also be involved in choir club and getting stuck into sports activities where possible.
Alongside Class 3 teaching, I am also the School's SENDco – I believe in making our classrooms inclusive and being able to support all of our children to the best of their abilities.
As many of you know, I spend much of my time at home with my beloved spaniel, Rodney. We spend many hours walking around the fields at my family farm. Rodney is also very much loved by the rest of the family but is most excited when he is with my husband or my mum, he definitely has his favourites.
Autumn 2026
During this term we will be exploring the North West of England and then studying Naples Bay and comparing these two places, their Geographical locations and the land that surrounds them. This will link to our Science learning of Rocks, how they are formed and where they are found in the United Kingdom and also link this to the formation of volcanoes.
Our class English text is The Iron Man by Ted Hughes – where we will use vocabulary and grammar to plan and write our own approaching threat narratives.
For more information about what we will be learning across our entire curriculum have a look at our topic web and newsletter.
Homework
Reading – for 30 mins every day, this is essential and will be monitored daily. Please record which pages you have read each night and the book you are currently reading in your diary. These will be checked daily.
Times Tables – Quick recall of times tables facts can have a significant impact on mathematical confidence and performance. Please encourage your child to learn/recall/ recite tables on a regular basis using TT Rockstars and verbally wherever and whenever you can!
If you have any queries about homework or anything else you would like to discuss please do not hesitate in contacting the school office to make an appointment.
