Hawks

The Hawks class is for our Year 3 and Year 4 children. They are taught by Mr Hall, ably supported by Mrs Wilson.

The children are taught a two-year rolling programme of work in this class. Maths, Reading, Spelling and Writing are taught daily. Science, PE, Music and French are taught each week. Computing, PSHE, DT and Art are also taught across each term. See Curriculum pages for further information on content of all subjects.
