Welcome to Hazel Class Years 3 & 4
Taking root and growing...
"The school has carefully planned an ambitious curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils, including in mixed-aged classes." (Ofsted May 2024)
Year 3 and Year 4 children learn together in a small mixed class which allows staff to provide stretch for children within the lower KS2 curriculum alongside the opportunity for us to support those who need more time to consolidate their understanding. Maths is taught discretely to each year group. They are taught by Miss Boxall and supported by Miss Major, Mrs Payton and Mrs Voyce.

The Digestive System
Hazel class had a very messy Science lesson learning about how we digest our food. Click on the photos to see our steps!
The Boy Who Grew Dragons
This term we have been reading The Boy Who Grew Dragons. We were very excited to find out that Flicker the dragon from our story had sent us a letter giving us clues to go and find a present! We worked out that the answers to the clues spelled 'common', so we went up and managed to find that we had been gifted a magical egg! This egg (which we called Hatch) had the power to turn into whatever creature we wanted, so we took him back, built him a nest and then drew a picture of what creature we would like to hatch. As a result of Hatch, Hazel class have been inspired to write some amazing viewpoint narratives!

Evaporation
Hazel class investigated how temperature affects how fast socks dry. We made sure our socks were wet, and then placed them in different places - one in sunlight and one in the shade - to see which would dry more quickly.

Roman diary entries
Hazel Class were amazed this week to find some ancient Roman letters fall out of the Roman books we were looking at for our class topic. The children deciphered the Roman numerals which showed a date of 321AD! These seem to be ancient diary extracts written by a real gladiator! We’re hoping to use them, along with our class text, to inspire some diary extracts of our own.
Roman letters! Hazel Class
