Meet your teachers
Mr Snaith
My name is Mr Snaith and I will be your class teacher for the upcoming year. I’m looking forward to teaching you and watching you grow and progress through your school journey. I would like to welcome you to the Marvellous Meerkats Year 3/4. It’s lovely to see some familiar returning faces this year and some new faces that will be starting their KS2 journey with us.
Outside of school, I play football and cricket for my local team and I love spending time with my family and friends.
Meet your teachers
Mrs Outram
Hello, My name is Mrs Outram and I will be working in the Year 3/4 teaching team working with Respectful Rabbits and Marvellous Meerkats. I’ve worked in education for the past 13 years and I continue to strive and develop my skills to ensure the children I work with flourish with their learning development.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family by enjoying day trips and going on holidays. I also enjoy dancing, singing and playing netball in a local netball team. As I have worked with you all before, I am extremely excited to be working with you all again and to continue our learning journey. I look forward to seeing your progress throughout the next academic year – see you in September!

Areas of Learning
This year we will be covering a wide range of exciting topics across all subject areas.
In Maths, we will start by recapping place value but then extend this to larger numbers.
We will be travelling back in time to the Stone and Iron age in History to learning about our bones and how the body works in Science.
In art, we will be starting with the use of Clay with the focus on Leonardo Da Vinci. We will be organising visits to allow hands on experiences, starting with a visit to the Library in our transition week.
Y4s will be attending their first residential at Sherwood Forest-which will allow the development of social and friendship skills. We are looking forward to that. Y3s don’t worry – you will still have lots of exciting things plan to look forward to!
