Class 3

Class 3

_{Welcome to Class 3!}

Welcome back to the last term of the year!

Here are the topics we will be studying this term:

We have another exciting term ahead, with lots of engaging learning taking place across the curriculum.

Religious Education
In RE, we will be exploring Significant Events of Life. Children will learn about important milestones and celebrations in different faiths and cultures, considering why these events are meaningful to individuals, families and communities.

Geography
Our Geography topic is Investigating India. We will discover where India is located, explore its physical and human features, compare aspects of life in India with life in the UK, and learn about its rich culture and traditions.

Computing
In Computing, we will be developing our understanding of programming. Children will learn how to create and debug simple programs, using logical thinking to solve problems and understand how computer programs work.

Design and Technology (DT)
Our DT project this term is Light-Up Signs. Children will design and create their own illuminated signs, learning about simple electrical circuits and how to combine technical knowledge with creative design.

Please ensure your child has their PE kit for our lessons on Wednesday and Friday. It's a great opportunity for them to stay active and enjoy some physical exercise.

As ever, if you do have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Reading in Years 3 and 4:

As a school, nurturing a love for reading remains at the heart of our educational mission. To cultivate this passion, reading will continue to be a fundamental aspect of our curriculum and daily routine. In addition to daily guided reading sessions, we encourage your child to have independent reading time, either by themselves or with the guidance of an adult, each day. Please ensure your child comes prepared with their reading book and blue reading record every day. Kindly sign the reading record after listening to your child read at home, and take a moment to discuss what they have read to gauge their comprehension and inference skills.

Furthermore, we're excited to introduce our 'Grand Draw' raffle initiative! Here's how it works: when your child reads independently five times in a week and receives an adult's signature, they earn a raffle ticket to contribute to the class jar. At the end of each half-term, a golden ticket will be drawn, and the lucky winner will be rewarded with a special non-uniform day pass. It's a fun incentive to encourage consistent reading habits and celebrate our young readers' dedication and achievement!
