Badger Class
Welcome to Badger Class
Badger Class is taught by Mrs Ashdown (our teacher) and by Ms Jagodzinska (our teaching assistant). As part of our wellbeing curriculum, our Year 3 and 4 students are learning to be RESPECTFUL.
Each day begins with a focus on English and Maths skills with plenty of opportunities to revisit these areas of learning. In our afternoon lessons, the children learn to develop and apply their skills in a range of subjects including Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, DT, RE, PSHE, French and PE. We’re also very fortunate to have specialist teachers come in to teach the Year 3&4 children the ukelele as part of their music curriculum.
We encourage the children to read widely and a love of reading is fostered with daily reading times. Each child is expected to bring in their reading record everyday as well as their class book. Mrs Ashdown also encourages children to bring in a book that they love for us to share with the class at the end of the day.
At the start of each term, we will send home a letter with details about our learning, including PE days and expectations for reading and homework.
Supporting your child with their learning
To support the children with their learning of key facts and calculation methods, we have created accounts for the children to use on both Times Tables Rock Stars and on EdShed/SpellingShed. Children have the login details for both websites inside the cover of their homework book.
- Times Tables Rock Stars – learn and practise times tables: https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth
- EdShed – to help children to learn and practise their spellings: https://play.edshed.com/
