Welcome to Class 3

Autumn 2 2026

Welcome back! We hope you have had a relaxing break with your families.

Back to it now! We're going to be really busy, 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 overarching theme for Religious Education (R.E.) this year is celebrating the Eucharist. Our focus for this half term is Prophecy and Promise, The Season of Advent.. In this topic we will be focussing on the elements which make up the Mass in an age appropriate way. The Mass has two parts that form a whole – the Liturgy of the Word first followed by the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Word is the part where the Bible is read, prayed, explained and reflected upon. It helps the listener to prepare to receive the Eucharist (Holy Communion). We will then link this to the story of the Nativity.

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 term, will be focussing on;  Addition & Subtraction and Multiplication & Division

In Science we will be thinking about Forces and Magnets. For more information on this, please see the knowledge organiser below.

This half term, we will have another Geography focus and we will be investigating the question, 'Who lives in Antartica?'  Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

Please make sure your school reading book is kept in your bag and brought into school every day. We do not have set reading days but we do have volunteers coming in to read with the children and it is time consuming if the children have to go to find a book.. 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!

Most of our homework is online. English will be posted on Google Classroom and Maths homework is usually on My Maths or Google Classroom. 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 continue to be sent out as a News Item each week. 

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.

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

Many thanks 

The Class Three Team
