Welcome to Year 3 / 4

2026 - 2027

 

I hope you have had a wonderful Summer.

I am delighted to be the Year 3/4 class teacher at

Old Road Primary School this year.

I am very excited to be part of your child’s learning.

I hope you find this letter useful in outlining the general Year 3/4 and school routine.

 

From Mrs Pope and

Miss Kate

Healthy Snacks and Water

Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle and a

healthy snack of fruit or vegetables daily. Children in KS2 are encouraged to eat a snack during learning time (9:30am – 11:00am) to help them learn healthy habits from a young age. It is important to fuel their body healthily to boost their learning and physical development.

Curriculum Information

A letter will be sent via Class Dojo giving details of the Areas of Learning we will be covering this Autumn Term.

We will continue to use Class Dojo regularly to keep you informed regarding school information relevant to your child’s learning and school experience. If you have not already received your log in to access the Class Dojo platform please ask.

 

Nature’s Den

Year 3/4 will go to Nature’s Den every Monday for outdoor learning activities.

Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather on this day, they may get wet and muddy!  School uniform does not need to be worn on a Monday.

 

P.E.

Year 4 will have P.E. on a Wednesday.  Your child should come to school on that day wearing their P.E. kit.  

White t-shirt, Black shorts/joggers and trainers.  School uniform does not need to be worn on a Wednesday.

 

Homework

Homework will be set online via Google Classroom

Your child will be asked to read for at least 10 minutes every school night to enhance their learning.

Emphasis is on developing literacy and numeracy skills as well as encouraging healthy work and study habits.

Google Classroom is new to Year 3, if you need any support accessing the homework please do not hesitate to ask.

 

And Finally

It is really important that you make us aware of any worries or issues that your child may have so that we can deal with them early on.

Please also inform staff of any medical issues as soon as possible.

We aim to make your child’s learning as successful and motivating as possible.

If you do have any concerns at all, please do not hesitate to contact myself or any other member of staff – we are committed to ensuring that children in Old Road School get the best possible education.
