Class 3

_{Welcome to Class 3!}

In Class 3, we're thrilled to have the dynamic duo of Mrs Crabb and Mrs Phelps joining us to ignite our curiosity and guide us through our academic adventures.

Get Ready for an Exciting New Term!

As you enjoy your fantastic summer holiday, why not get a head start on some of the topics we'll be exploring next term:

History: Travel back in time as we journey from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Dive into the mysteries of ancient civilizations and discover how early humans lived!

Science: Embark on an adventure into various environments and uncover the secrets of living organisms. Become a young scientist and explore the wonders of nature!

Art: Let your creativity bloom! We'll be making beautiful sketches of plants, so start practicing your drawing techniques and observation skills.

French: Experience the magic of French as we learn all about the seasons. Prepare to speak and understand the language of romance and charm!

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

Swimming: Our swimming lessons will start right after the October half term.

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!
