Sycamore

Welcome to Sycamore's Class Page- Year 3/4

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026

We have all settled back into school brilliantly and are looking forward to learning about the Revolting Romans as our next half term topic! We will be learning all about how Rome becoming an empire, social classes, gods and goddesses, as well as Mount Vesuvius, that erupted in AD79!

To help with this, we will be reading ‘Escape from Pompeii’ by Christina Balit, which is all about a boy called Tranio who escapes when the ‘Gentle Mountain’ becomes gentle no more! In English, we will be writing setting descriptions about Pompeii and then moving onto Kennings and Limericks for poetry week in February.

In RE this half term, Sycamore class will be learning about special roles and responsibilities in the church, all the way from the Pope to the clergy in the parish. We will be discussing what vocations are and how God calls us in life for different purposes.

We have loved having Mr Richter join us from Switzerland this week! He has been teaching us about his ways of life and schooling in a different country. He has been very intrigued about how we learn at school in England!

We loved B.Ware’s visit to school on Friday 26th September. In the workshop, we made up our own stories, raps and poems! We’re so pleased lots of children bought a copy of her new book ‘Warning: May Contain Dragons.
