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. 

Spring 1 - January 2025

Welcome back to school! I hope you have had a lovely and special Christmas and have made lots of memories. 

Our topic for this half term is - Marvellous Mountains and Wonderful Water!

This topic will be Geography led and the children will be learning about the worlds oceans, as well as the mountains that can be found all over the world. In Science we will be learning about Earth and Space. Our English learning will focus on persuasive writing and magazine articles. In RE we will be learning about Jesus - The Son of God and why he was special.  During Maths lessons we will be learning about ratio, decimals and percentages. 

PE lessons will take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - please ensure a PE kit is in school.

Music lessons will also begin again this half term.

If you have any worries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact myself or a member of the Class 3 Team.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs. Kaminski, Mrs. Makin and Miss. Tattersall
