Welcome to Opal Class
My name is Miss Flannery and I am the teacher in Year 3/4 Opal Class.
We are also very lucky to have Mrs Powell and Mrs Cording working alongside us in class as well.
This page will include information about our class and also about our past and future learning.
This half term, our art topic is the 'Space', in geography we will be learning about 'London and the South East', our history topic is 'Ancient Greece' and we will be learning about 'Cycles in Nature' in science.
We will be using the model text 'Theseus and the Minotaur' as our English stimulus when writing some myths.
This term, we will have Doncaster Rovers on Friday mornings, and our other PE day will be a Thursday.
We also have some exciting trips this year to enhance our learning outside of the classroom. We will visit Eureka! as part of our science, to learn more about 'The Human Body'. We will visit Murton Park in the Spring term, and Eyam in the Summer term, to learn more about our history topics.

Weekly Homework
Reading - If pupils read 3 times a week (and this is signed in their reading records) they will be able to move their car along the race track, and will be one step closer to the finish line, where they can receive a certificate and prize!
Spellings - Every Friday pupils are sent home with statutory spellings to practise for the spelling tests the following Friday!
Times Tables - To enable children to progress within maths it is essential that they can recall their times tables up to 12 x 12. Weekly practice will help children to improve their recall. The websites below have a range of games that can support children with this:
