Welcome to Class 3!
In Class 3 we always try our best, work hard, learn lots of new and exciting things and have lots of fun!
During the year we will be covering lots of exciting new topics and learning new ideas and skills. It is important to be kind and helpful and work independently and work as part of a team.
Spellings and weekly homework linked to learning will be given out each Friday.
Children will be listened to read each week, as part of Guided Reading sessions, and their independent reading book will be read and changed if needed. Reading books can be changed as and when needed. Children will also have access to library books.
If you have any worries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs. Kaminski and the Class 3 Team
Summer 2 - Let's Be Curious About Crime and Punishment!
Welcome back to the last half term of the year! It is going to be a very busy time with lots of exciting events and trips! Year 6 will also be getting ready to leave Primary School and preparing to go to High School. The residential trip and sports day will also be taking part during this half term.
This half term we will be learning about Crime and Punishment, the focus will be History and we will be studying the Victorians. A trip to Blackpool Dungeons will help with our learning on this topic. In RE we will be studying what life was like for St. Paul after Pentecost and linking this to our topic. We will also be studying The Highway Man in English as well as reading detective and crime fiction. Art lessons will focus on the artist Banksy.
Science learning will focus on electricity.
Maths lessons will focus on algebra and real life Maths challenges.
In PSHE we will be thinking about "Growing, Changing and Transition" and in PE we will be playing tennis and cricket.
Please see the homework and subject knowledge organiser grid below for tasks linked to our learning this half term. I look forward to receiving your homework pieces.
