Grosvenor - Year 3/4 2025 - 2026
Miss Zee Dempsey
Welcome to Grosvenor Class; the home of Year 3 and 4!
Our topic this term will be Rome wasn't Built in a Day. We will learn about the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. We will explore what Roman life was like in Chester through a trip to the Roman Experience.
In science we will be looking into Forces and Magnets. We will compare how things move on different surfaces, observe that some forces require contact between two objects, and investigate how magents attract or repel each other and attract some materials but not others by comparing and grouping a variety of everyday materials.
In Religious Education we will be exploring the big questions, 'Why do Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God?' and 'Why do Jewish people believe that the Sabbath/Shabbat is so important?"
Grosvenor PE Sessions
This term PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
Grosvenor Outdoor Learning Session
This year Grosvenor's outdoor learning will be on a Friday. Please remember to bring your base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a separate bag.
Grosvenor Home Learning
Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings are available on the class page. We will have a spelling test and a 20 in 20 test each Friday.
Children are expected to read every night and are able to change their books when required. Each child can choose up to 4 books to take home at one time and they will be given a phonetically decodable book (if required) by their teacher. The decodeable book should be read multiple times to help develop fluency and expression. They should complete one of the reading comprehension tasks from the back of their reading record each week. Reading records should be brought into school every day and will be checked weekly.
Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club and Times Tables Rockstars. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.
Phonics/Spelling
Please refer to the “phonics” section of our website: Saighton C of E Primary School Phonics - ELS
Here you will find lots of useful resources to help support your child with their phonics/spelling journey.
