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 experiences in maths for example through cooking and measuring.
Our topic this term - Mountains of the World
A mountain is something that’s part of the land, but that rises above everything else. Mountains can join up with other mountains to make up a range.
Mountains are very rocky and difficult to grow things on. Also, the higher the mountain goes up, the colder it gets – this means different kinds of plants and animals might live at the top of a mountain than at the bottom, depending on just how high it is.
