Chestnut Class

Years 3 and 4

Welcome to our class page!

We are taught by Miss Cutts and Mrs Lockwood helps us with our learning too.

World Book Day

Look at all the wonderful potatoes we have made at home! Each one has been made to look like a book character. They are all brilliant! We’ve also been given book tokens to swap for a free book!

Tasty Toasties

In DT, we designed, made and evaluated a healthy lunch- toasties with a side salad.

Art

We experimented with using the coiling technique to make pots for our 3D project in art. Great work Chestnut class!

History

We started our new topic on the Ancient Greeks by sorting different events into the correct order on a timeline. 

Researching habitats in Science

We used our computing skills to research about different habitats.

Science 

We have started our new science topic and have been learning all about living things and their habitats. Here are some photographs of us sorting the animals into the different habitats and explaining why they are suited to their habitat. 

Art - Using Clay

Today, we carefully copied some patterns into the clay. We used a selection of tools and art skills to this. Well done Chestnut! Next, we will be using these to print onto the dip dyed fabric from last week (see below!)

American Football🏈 

Look at our amazing skills. What a great PE enrichment session!

Reading, Maths and Spelling

Chestnut class have settled in well to their new routine. Every morning before play, we rotate our activities and complete some Reading, Maths and Spellings. We often help each other too!

Art

We have just started our Textiles unit. So far, we have studied patterns from around the world and sketched them. We have also used our dip dyeing skills (that we learnt in Year 2) to prepare some fabric for us to print on. Have a look at the pictures below!  

Our School Councillors...

The following children have been elected to represent our class on the school council. We spent some time in our PSHE lesson discussing democracy and then we voted these councillors into office.

Year 4 Multiplication Check

In Year 4 we play lots of games and complete activities to help us learn all of our times tables (up to 12x12) and to become fully fluent and confident with them!

The government ask us to test every Year 4 child in June for their times tables and it is expected that they will all achieve 25/25.For each question, they are only given 6 seconds to answer so quick recall is really important!

The following information tells you a little more about the tests and there is also an example of the test too.
