Welcome to Alder Class!
Hello! I am Miss Smith, the Teacher in Alder Class.

I am the English Lead at our school and have the wonderful job of inspiring a love of reading and writing across all classes. Every day, I get to share amazing stories and creative ideas with the brilliant children at Glapton.
In Alder Class, we believe that reading and writing open doors to endless adventures. Every day, we explore wonderful stories, build big imaginations, and make words come alive. Our Year 3 and Year 4 learners are curious, creative, and full of ideas—and together, we celebrate the joy of learning. From exciting books to inspiring writing projects, we aim to nurture a love of language that lasts a lifetime.





Here you will find lots of information about our learning journey. This term, our topic has a fascinating history focus: Were invasions always negative? We’ll be diving into the world of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, exploring who they were, why they came to Britain, and how their actions shaped life in the past. Alongside this, we’ll continue to enjoy wonderful books, spark creativity through writing, and celebrate the joy of language every day.
