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 up 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.
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 TERM 2025
During this term we begin to explore the history of man, spanning back to prehistoric times, Old Stone Age. Discovering artefacts and archaeology that helps us to best understand how life has changed over millions of years. The children will have their eyes opened to life without electricity and the ease of food resources. We will move through the lives of hunter gatherers and the world's first farmers, discussing the similarities and differences from our lives today.
For more information about what we will be learning across our entire curriculum have a look at our topic web and newsletter.
