Welcome to Class 3 ... 

...and the juniors!

Welcome back! We hope you have had the most amazing summer with your families.

We hope you are as excited as we are to begin the year. We're going to be really busy, as always, but we can't wait to get started!

Here's a few details of what we will be covering this half term and it is also on the curriculum map below. Also below, you will find the homework timetable and knowledge organisers which give more information on some of the foundation subjects.

The children will be given a home reader this week. This should be kept in their bags and should be brought into school every day. We do not have set reading days in the juniors. If you read with your child at home, please sign their reading record. This lets me know how regularly they are reading but also, and more importantly, gets them a housepoint!

All of our homework is online. English will be posted on Google Classroom which the children will be able to access after this week. Maths homework is usually on Active Learn-Abacus or My Maths. You can find links to these in the Learning Hub below. Again, children will get housepoints for completed, on time homework. Spellings and Times Tables will be sent out as a News Item each week. 

The overarching theme for Religious Education (R.E.) this year is celebrating the Eucharist. Our focus for this half term is Creation and Covenant. In this topic we will revisit the first story of Creation from the book of Genesis. We look at the story of Creation and how humanity, made in the image and likeness of God, is given the task of caring for the Earth, stewardship. 

Our English, as usual, will be based around a range of fantastic books and we will give details of these as we go along...we don't want to give too much away as lots of prediction is involved!

In Maths, for this half term, will be focussing on; Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Time, 3D Shapes, Place Value and Difference.

In Science we will be thinking about 'Keeping Healthy'. For more information on this, please see the knowledge organiser below.

This half term, we will have a Geography focus and we will be investigating the question, 'How and why is my local area changing?'  Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

Please remember, if you have any questions or concerns or if you would like to volunteer to help out or share your expertise in a particular area, you can contact us through the school office or see us at the beginning or end of the school day.

We look forward to working with you to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class Three Team
