Welcome to Class 3

Class Teacher:  Mrs Try & Mrs Jones (Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons)

Welcome to Class 3. This is the start of your journey through Key Stage 2. We mostly aim for  a cross-curricular approach to learning so that skills are transferable.

Autumn Term
​Rotten Romans! 
During this term we will be finding out how the Romans influence our lives today. We will be investigating when and where they invaded and ruled; about the army and home lives. Other areas will be guided by the children when we introduce the topic so that we can research areas of interest. There will be lots of opportunities to work together and with year four, not least when we investigate catapults! 
​
English 
Our English will be taught through a range of texts, both whole texts and extracts, some of which will be related to our Roman topic. We will start by recovering the basics - identifying, using and improving different sentence types and their related punctuation. Following this, we will move on in the direction needed by the class.
​
Maths  
In Mathematics we will focusing heavily on place value and understanding of number, before moving onto addition and subtraction. Children will be given opportunities to practice for fluency as well as being exposed to lots of problem solving challenges. 
Spellings - I am sending home lists of all of the spellings that your child should already know (Year 1 and 2) as well as those they should know by the end of year 4 ( 3 /4 word list). Please support your child with these as much as you can. 

Beat The Clock - ​We will continue with our times table challenges three times a week. Children will bring their sheets home once they have completed them and can then practice further at home. Knowing their tables is essential, so please encourage your child to recite them regularly. 


Homework

We value the work parents do to support their child's work through homework. In Class 3 children should be doing approximately, 15-20  minutes per night. We would expect that between 10 and 15 minutes of this would be spent reading and discussing books with your child. This leaves some time to practice other key skills such as spellings, sentence work or number skills as well as research tasks. 
Useful Information

Forest School / outdoor learning - Every other Friday starting this term on 14th September. If possible, please can children leave a pair of wellies in school so that we can go outside often as possible without getting their school shoes and socks soggy!

P.E. – Swimming on Thursday afternoons (starting on 13th September).
 
Homework will be given on Thursday/Friday and will need to be returned the following Tuesday.

Reading percentages are calculated on a Tuesday. Please ensure diaries are up to date and reading has taken place at home, at least three times each week.
