Years 3 & 4 Lynher

Welcome to Lynher Class Page

Welcome to Lynher Class.

Here you can find useful information and find out what we have been doing in Year 3 and Year 4 at St George's C of E Primary Academy.

Our Team

Class Teacher - Mrs Sophie Daykin supported by Mrs Stringer and Mrs Nahavandi-Pour.

PE is on a Thursday and Friday. Please come to school in your PE kit on these days.

This half term we became members of the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary's Mini Police force. We have been wearing our uniforms around school to carry out tasks in the cloakroom and outside areas.

In science we have been investigating circuits by creating our own and finding out which are the best conductors and insulators. 

During December we explored Christmas around the world. Each day we visited a different country to find out some of the traditions they have to celebrate Christmas. We all learnt something new!

Learning in Lynher

We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful. We strive to develop imagination through a stimulating, creative environment where every child has the opportunity to shine. We use a continuous provision approach. Challenges are accessed throughout the day to promote independence and resilience. We learn both in small groups and as a whole class. We have rainbow challenges built into the week where the children can choose their own learning and build on what they have learnt during lessons to deepen their understanding or revisit ideas they had misconceptions in.

Reading

Children are encouraged to read every day at home and can change their books when needed. We read every day in class, this could be individual reading to an adult, exploring texts and vocabulary through our whole class reading sessions or reading by ourselves or with a friend. We also have the opportunity to visit the school library over the course of the week.

Tapestry

In Lynher Class we use this platform to share all of our amazing learning with you. You can also send messages to the Lynher Team through Tapestry. The children upload their own work here and share the rainbow challenges that they have completed.

Rainbow Challenges

Every day there are planned challenges for children to access and complete independently. These enhancements are planned carefully around the children's interests, the curriculum and interventions needed within the class. Each week the children are encouraged to complete all of the challenges to a high standard and therefore making a rainbow with the lolly sticks that they collect for each challenge. Rainbow Challenges can be seen in the children's books or on Tapestry.

Continuous Provision

In KS2 we value the importance of learning through investigation, challenging ourselves and independence. To enable the children opportunities for this we provide continuous provision both inside and outside the classroom. 

Take a look at our previous learning.

No Outsiders

At St George's we believe there are 'no outsiders'. We are inclusive of everyone. We read a book called 'The Flower'. It taught us about the importance of asking questions. Especially if we want to know why something is the way it is. We talked about how it is good to question things, especially if we think something could be better or improved. The flowers in our picture represent how we can change the dull grey town underneath for the better, just like the boy in the story did, by asking questions and finding out about new ideas.
