Year 3 and 4

Welcome  to Year 3 and Year 4.

In Year 3 and 4 at Kirkby and Great Broughton Primary School we have our school ethos at the heart of everything we do:

Shine within themselves

Shine for our community

Shine out to the world

Together, we light the way for others. 

We love our History and Geography topics in class and this year we will get to enjoy learning about and answering the following questions:

Why did the Romans settle in Britain?

Why do people live near volcanoes?

What was the impact of the railway coming to Great Broughton?

What are the key geographical characteristics of the UK and my region?

Would you prefer to live in the Stone, Bronze or Iron Age?

Where does our food come from?

It is a big transition for the Year 3s into Key Stage 2. The children will take on more responsibilities within the classroom and school and there will be different expectations of our work and presentation as well as setting a good example to the younger children in the school.

In Year 3/4 we are welcoming, inclusive and we love to make new friends. We look after each other and care for each other in our classroom and on the playground. We are mindful and respectful of others and we care for the world around us.

Life is a real adventure in Year 3/4 and we share this with our families through Seesaw where parents and family members can keep up to date with us.

Thank you,

Miss Atkinson, Miss Hall and Miss Sellars.
