Class 3 - Year 3

Welcome to Class 3- Year 3

RW

Hello! My name is Miss Wells. I teach Class 3, which consists of children in Year 3 and Year 4. We are supported throughout the week by Mr Green and Mrs Bond.

This half term, our topic is How Have Children's Lives Changed? We will be learning all about how children lived and worked in the past and how reforms improved the lives of children in Great Britain and across the world.

The curriculum in Class 3 will continue to develop children's skills, knowledge, and understanding across all subjects. The core elements of their learning are centered around English, maths, science, and RE. Excellent progress in these areas will provide a strong foundation for development in other areas. You can find a copy of our weekly timetable below. 

This year, some of our year 3 children are preparing for their Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Eucharist (First Holy Communion). 

I very much look forward to the year ahead and to working with parents/carers and our pupils to make this a very special year at St Mary's.

 

General reminders:

PE: Children in Class 3 have PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays. They should come to school in their labeled PE uniform on these days, without earrings or jewelry.

Homework: Homework is set on a Friday and returned the following Thursday. 

Spelling tests: Spellings are sent home on Friday and tested the following Thursday. Spellings should be practiced weekly on Spelling Shed. Please contact me via Seesaw if you misplace your child's Spellingshed information.

Times tables: Times tables are imperative in KS2 and should be practiced regularly both in school and at home. Please contact me via Seesaw if you misplace your child's Times Table Rockstar information.

Reading: Reading quizzes can be completed whenever a child has finished a book. They may select a new book based on their quiz result.
