Years 3 and 4
There are 3 classes in Year 3 and 4.
The teachers in Years 3 and 4 work hard as a team, along with our teaching assistants, to plan and deliver an exciting and informative curriculum for all the children.
In the mornings, we focus mainly on developing children's English and Maths knowledge and skills, ensuring that children are well-prepared for the next phase of their education. In the afternoons, we take part in a range of lessons which develop our knowledge of the wider curriculum.
To complement our curriculum, each class accesses 10 weeks of music tuition from Derbyshire County Council Wider Opportunities. This is based around 'World Percussion' and is either Djembe (African drums), Samba Band or Steel Pans.
Children in year 4 go swimming on a Tuesday afternoon.
The team consists of:
OTTERS (Year 3)– Miss Hind, Mrs Dewis and Miss Palmer. RABBITS (Year 3 & 4)– Miss Freeman, Mrs Knighton, Mrs Dunne, Mrs Depadova and Mrs Wall.
BADGERS (Year 4)– Mr Edwards, Miss Guest, Mrs Hutchison and Mrs Butler.
Each year, we organise a range of visitors and trips to support children’s learning. Every two years, we offer a residential trip in order for children to take part in outdoor and adventurous activities which support collaboration and team work.
