Welcome to Class 3

Welcome back! We hope you 've had a refreshing break and are now ready to go for the second of our autumn terms. 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 overarching theme for Religious Education (R.E.) this year is celebrating the Eucharist. Our focus for this half term is Prophecy and Promise. In this topic we will study the Mass in some detail with the focus of this branch splitting into two themes. One is understanding what happens at Mass, and the other focuses on the nativity according to St Matthew, which introduces pupils to Joseph and St Matthew’s gospel.

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; Multiplication & Division; Fractions; Place value in addition and subtraction; Length; Capacity; Place value: Difference

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 a Geography focus and we will be investigating the question, 'Why do some earthquakes cause more damage than others?' Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

Please ensure your child has their home reading book in their bags and it is brought into school every day. As you know,we do not have set reading days but we will read with the children whenever we get time between lessons. 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!

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
