Welcome to Conkers class! We are the first of the Key Stage 2 classes at Crockham Hill Primary. We are courageous, confident and clever! We are a mixed year group class, consisting of 20 Year 3 children and 10 Year 4 children. 

We are taught by Mrs Taylor on Monday and Tuesday morning then Mrs Gibson Tuesday afternoon to Friday.

We work closely with Dandelions class and share the same topics as they do (this is part of our three year cycle). We have so many amazing areas of study this year, including: Ancient Egypt, Tudors and a pace study of Rio, Brazil. We always use our positive mindsets during our learning and we always try our best!

Multiplication Check (Y4 only):

A Multiplication Tables Check takes place for all Year 4 children across England across a three-week window in June. 

It is an expectation that all children sit this check. The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12x12. The test is set out similarly to Times Tables Rock Stars, as the children will need to type the answer into a box on the computer. They will have 6 seconds to answer a question. You can support your child, and help them prepare for this check, by encouraging them to learn and regularly practice their multiplication tables.
