Welcome back Elephants! We are so excited to share your learning for the Autumn Term. Have a look at our Curriculum Overview below and get ready for lots of fun and exciting activities.

Autumn 2026 Curriculum Overview 

Years 3 & 4 are Junior Children who follow Lower Key Stage 2 - National Curriculum.     

A typical day for us would look like this. 

• Breakfast Club is open everyday from 8am-8.45am - we can have breakfast and play with our friends before the start of the school day.
• At 8.45am we head to class and start the morning with some maths fluency practice or quiet reading.
• This is followed by English and Guided Reading.
• At 10.25 we have whole school Collective Worship
• Then a 15 minute play time and snack
• After play it's time for our daily Maths lesson.
•  Lunchtime takes place between 12 and 1.
• Both the children who bring packed lunches and those that take hot school meals (supplied and ordered direct with Chartwells) eat together in the hall and are able to sit at mixed age tables with their siblings and / or friends. We all go out for playtime at 12.30. On rainy days we have to stay on the playground but on fair days we get to use our amazing school field. 
• After lunch, children will take part in a range of subjects including Science, Geography, History, Music, PE, Religious Education, Art, Design Technology, Computing, Forest School or RHE. Our half termly overview provides more detail on this. Please see below.
• Our school day finishes at 3.15pm but there are fully funded sports clubs run by 1:1 FFPC two days a week until 4.15pm which are booked with us termly.              https://www.1-1pc.co.uk/fpc
• We are also proud to work in partnership with Jo Kent from Chuckleberries, our on site pre-school and afterschool childcare provision until 5pm. The children have time to unwind in the well resourced indoor and outdoor classrooms, spend time outdoors in our wider school grounds, can be supported with homework and are provided with snacks, drinks and dinner.                                                    https://chuckleberriespres.wixsite.com/mysite
