Class 3

_{Welcome to Class 3!}

Thank you for all of the lovely presents I received I really appreciate it and I hope you all have a fantastic summer holiday!

Please scroll down to see the pictures from our fantastic residential.

If you would like to get a head start for September this is what we will be studying:

History: Early Civilisations
We’ll be travelling back in time to discover some of the world’s earliest civilisations. From ancient Sumer to the Indus Valley, we’ll find out how these early societies lived, what they believed, and the amazing achievements they made.

Science: Health and Movement
In Science, we’ll be learning all about how our bodies work. We’ll look at the importance of nutrition, the role of the skeleton and muscles, and how to stay fit and healthy.

Art: William Morris
Our focus in Art will be on the designer William Morris. We’ll study his beautiful patterns and designs, and have a go at creating our own inspired artwork using printing techniques.

RE: What do Hindus believe God is like?
In RE, we’ll be learning about Hindu beliefs. We’ll explore Hindu ideas about God, including the many different forms God can take, and what these mean to Hindus.

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.

We can't wait to see you all in the new term, full of energy and excitement for the amazing learning adventures ahead!

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!
