Hello there, Class Three!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful, restful Christmas and you are ready for lots of learning. We have some exciting things planned for you.

As a reminder: KS2 children no longer receive a free snack from school – if you would like a snack at play time, please make sure you bring some fruit or vegetables with you.

Our PE lesson will be on a Tuesday. Please wear your full PE kit (green polo shirt, black shorts/joggers and trainers or plimsols) into school on this day. For this term we will be learning about Rounders. This may be outside so please make sure PE kit is appropriate for the great outdoors if you can, this includes sun lotion and hats.

In English, we will be looking at the focus text The Book of Bones – 10 Record Breaking Animals. We will be exploring using comparative language to bring to life facts in our writing.

In Maths, we will be continuing with multiplication and division, exploring these inverse operations and how we can solve 2 digit number sentences.

In Science, we will be classifying animals, studying the human digestive system and our teeth in our new unit: Animals including Humans.

In History, we will be exploring transport from the 1700’s to now, with our unit: The Railway Revolution.

And lots more!

We expect all children to be reading at least three times a week at home. In Class Three, they can write in their own reading diaries and can read to themselves or a sibling. The more entries, the more house points!

As a class we will be learning about the expectations of Year Three and Year Four. Our Core Value as a school this term is respect, which is also one of our three school rules. We will be looking closely at what this word means and how we can demonstrate it.

If you have any questions about the above please let us know.

Miss Poole
