Welcome to Class 3  

Summer Term 2025 

Welcome back to the final term of Year Three!

We hope you have had a lovely Easter with family and friends and are now ready and looking forward to all the new and interesting things that we can find out together this term. We're going to be really busy, as always and we can't wait to get started! Here's just a brief outline of what we'll be getting up to.

In our Religious Educuation (R.E.) lessons, we will be looking at Branch 5: To the Ends of the Earth. This branch focusses on how Mass today mirrors Mass celebrated by the first disciples. The first historical account of Mass is in St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. The letter is written within a few years of Jesus’ resurrection and shows that the Mass celebrated by the Catholic Church today follows the pattern set down by the first disciples. We will also connect with the words of Jesus at the end of Matthew’s gospel and the words that the priest or deacon says at the end of the Mass. We will begin to explore the mystery of the Holy Trinity in more depth, though as it is a mystery, it is not something that can be explained or understood. There will be lots of discussion and reflection around this.

In English, our lessons will be based around a range of fantastic books and I will give details of these as we go along...I don't want to give too much away as lots of prediction is involved! Please do however try to keep up with the English homework as this is closely linked to the work we do in class and is given to reinforce or consolidate learning. See the homework timetable below.

In Maths, for this first half term, will be focussing on; Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Statistics & data. Weight. Again, homework set will be closely linked to our learning in class.

In Science we will be thinking about 'Plants: Artful Flowers, fruits and seeds'. For more information on this, please see the knowledge organiser below.

This half term will have a History focus, looking at two questions; What is the secret of the standing stones? (Bronze Age Britain) and How do artefacts help us understand the lives of people in Iron Age Britain? Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

We will be continuing with our clarinet lessons. Please find time to practise at home, it really does make a difference.

Also this term, we begin our swimming lessons. The children will go to Formby Pool every Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure they have their full swimming kit with them each week. Details have been sent out via email.

And finally, Camp Night. All the information has been sent to you. I will send any updates, if there are any, once we return to school. If you do have any questions, please ask, no question is too daft.

Please refer to the homework timetable below if you are unsure of what to do and when it is due. I also post a news item to let you know what is coming up for that week.

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.

Let’s continiue to work together to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class Three team
