Pavender Class
Children in year 4 are taught in Pavender class. Pavenders were non-talking, rainbow-coloured fish that lived in the oceans of Narnia. In Pavender class we always try really hard and give everything we do our best efforts. Work can be challenging but our teacher, Mr Dorgan, says that if we don’t push ourselves we will never improve. “Give it a go!” is his motto.
What the children say:
Learning is fun in Pavender Class and we always get to do the best work!
Everyone is friendly, kind and helpful. I'm in my 'happy place' here!
What we do:
In Pavender Class we cover all subjects within the National Curriculum. We focus on the enjoyment of our learning as well as challenging ourselves in all subjects. Everyone works really hard to achieve their best in all areas of school life. Our literacy work is often cross-curricular and makes links to work in science, geography and history. In maths we build on and develop skills learnt in previous years. We cover the four methods of calculation then moving on to problem solving. In addition to this we study data handling, shape space and measure. We do our best to give children practical experience in maths for example through cooking and measuring.
This term our topic is The Romans.
Around 2,000 years ago, Britain was ruled by tribes of people called the Celts. But this was about to change. For around a century, the Roman army had been building an Empire across Europe. Now it was coming for Britain!
