About me

Hello and welcome to Year 4, Class 3 – September 2024!

My name is Miss White and I joined Consett Junior School in September 2020, when the world was feeling upside down. This will be my first year teaching Year 4 and I cannot wait. I have recently returned from maternity leave following the birth of my beautiful baby boy, Jude, who will turn 1 in September – the time really does fly! Prior to that I taught in Year 3 which taught me many valuable skills as a teacher.

I am part of the Senior Leadership Group in school and often help Miss Waters with SENDCo duties to ensure all pupils at Consett Junior School have their needs met and reach their full potential. I am the Computing subject leader in school and I am hugely passionate about keeping children safe online, we live in a digital world full of social media and group chats and it is our responsibility to teach our pupils to be safe, be kind and be aware.

In my free time I like to go for long walks with our dog, Reggie, exploring new places and I can usually spot some shops to top up my overflowing wardrobes!

About Class 3

I like to have a lot of fun with the classes I teach and it is my pleasure to see our pupils grow throughout the year. No doubt in September there will be some sleepless nights and anxious tummies but I can assure you that will be short lived. Before long, you will see how much your child is enjoying learning and growing in Year 4. We have weekly class helpers whose responsibility it is to make sure books are ready for each lesson and collect iPads if they are needed. This gives the pupils a sense of ownership within the class. We also will elect class counsellors to be our voice and take part in organising mufti days and raising money for school fund. Mrs Sheild and Miss Metclafe will support in Class 3 and I know with their years of experience between them that they will be an invaluable support for the pupils and myself. Miss Hughes will teach on a Tuesday afternoon which she is very excited about, she taught this class in Year 3 so knows them very well.

English

At the beginning of year 4, we will be creating our own version of Lock and Key House, which will take us on many adventures and exciting new worlds. Later in the year you will need to get your cloaks and wands out because in year 4 English lessons are full of magic and excitement as we dive into the magical world of Harry Potter. We will learn to make our writing a lot more descriptive and adventurous through working on our fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases, conjunctions and much more! We will also read other novels throughout the year including ‘The Creekers’.

Maths

Throughout the year, we are going to be working on improving our mathematical fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. We will also be doing lots of times tables practice using TT rockstars, both in school and at home – are you ready to become a rock hero?

In the first half term, we will be reawakening our mathematical brains by taking a look at place value. In this unit we will be recognising and writing 5 digit numbers, comparing and ordering numbers, rounding and so much more!
