Year 3 and 4

A very warm welcome back to all our children and families as we begin an exciting new school year in Eucalyptus Class!

We are delighted to welcome our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils and are looking forward to a year filled with learning, discovery, creativity and fun. Eucalyptus trees are known for their resilience, growth and strength, and these are qualities we hope to nurture in all of our children throughout the year.

This term, we will be settling into our new routines, getting to know one another and building a positive classroom community where everyone feels valued, respected and ready to learn. We have lots of exciting topics planned across the curriculum, with opportunities to explore, investigate, create and challenge ourselves.

Mrs Palmer will be teaching all day Monday and Tuesday, and also Wednesday morning. Mrs Hibbert will be teaching Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday and Friday.

We encourage all children to come to school each day with a positive attitude, a willingness to try their best and a readiness to embrace new experiences. Mistakes help us learn, and we will be celebrating effort, perseverance and progress every step of the way.

We look forward to sharing our learning journey with you throughout the year. Please keep an eye on this page for updates, photographs and examples of the wonderful work taking place in Eucalyptus Class.

Here's to a fantastic year of growth and success in Eucalyptus Class!

Our Year 3/4 class absolutely love their time at Forest School! Each session gives the children the opportunity to step outdoors, explore nature, and learn through hands-on experiences in a safe and supportive environment. 

Forest School encourages curiosity, teamwork, and resilience. Through activities such as den building, exploring natural materials, imaginative play, and learning how to manage risks safely, the children develop confidence, independence, and physical skills. Working together outdoors also helps strengthen friendships, communication, and problem-solving skills and a deep connection to the environment while improving mental well-being, focus, and social skills, making learning holistic and fun. 

We have seen our Year 3/4 children become calmer, more focused, and increasingly proud of their achievements. Forest School supports the whole child—mind, body, and wellbeing—and is a valued and much-loved part of our learning journey.
