Welcome to our Class 3 page. 

In Class 3, we are wonderfully different and unique but we fit together to make the most amazing class. 

Our focus is on growth mindset and becoming more independent learners. We have great fun, love a challenge and strive to be the very best we can.

Spring Term 2026.

We had such a busy Autumn term and were all so busy learning and growing, that we aren't quite sure where the term went!

We are looking forward to sharing our class assembly with you this term. Please do join us if you are able on Wednesday 21st January at 9am.

Please read on to find out all the exciting learning we will be learning during the Spring term.

In English, we will start the new year by sharing the Sci-Fi text 'Robot Girl' by Malorie Blackman. This futuristic thriller will develop the children's skills of inference and deduction as they follow the the story through many twists and turms. The story will also open the up discussion around the very topical subject of A.I!

Maths will be continuing to focus on mastering confident and quick recall of our multiplication tables in our fluency. We will also be learning written methods to multiply and divide, gettign to grip with fractions and telling the time.

In Science, we will be exploring earth and space. The unit provides children the opportunity to star-gaze by learning more about the Earth and the celestial bodies in our solar system. Starting with an exploration of each planet - from Mercury to Neptune - we will then explore how scientific ideas surrounding Earth's movement and placement have changed and developed over time. Our art work will be linked to our learning in Science where we will be studying the beautiful pastel work from Peter Thorpe and his out of this world pictures. 

Our space theme continues in Design Technology where we will be creating amazing moving pictures that blast off into space using pnematics. 

In History we will travel back in time to the 1300's and learn all about the Black death! We will discover what it would have been like to live in Medieval times, why the Black death swept across Europe and the impact it had linked to the understsndign of medicine at the time.

In R.E, we will be reflecting on why Christians believe Jesus was a great teacher and after term, understanding why Easter can be seen as a celebration of victory. As part of our study of world faiths, we will be learning all about the Jewish festival of Purim.

In PE we will be starting our unit of dance with a theme of myths and legends. We will also building on our skills with invasion games with a rugby unit. Our planned PE days are a Monday and Tuesday afternoon, but please can children have kits in everyday in case the weather prevents us having our lesson on those days. Please remind you children to bring a hair bobble to tie back long hair and also that earings must be removed. 

In Computing, we will be learning about programming and repeating shapes. Later in the term, we will be data logging. Along side this, we will be keeping online safety at the forefront of our learning with on Online Safety Day in February with will focus on the responsible use of AI.

Our PSHE topics this term are focused on our dreams and goals and staying healthy. We will be thinking about our futures, looking at money matters and exploring how to keep our bodies and minds healthy.

Homework

Homework will be sent home on Thursdays. Each week either Maths or English homework will be set. The Maths' homework will be linked to key skills or a piece of maths work to consolidate that we have covered in class. English homework will be linked to grammar, punctuation or to consolidate work in class. We have an amazing online platform with Google Classroom so will be using this regularly to set homework.

If there is nothing in your child’s homework book, please check Google Classroom as homework will be set on there.

Please find documents on this page relating to our routines and the curriculum which we ensure is fun and engaging for the children.  

We are currently using 'Spelling Shed' for those in Year Four and Five which enables them practise their weekly spellings both at school and home. The link to this is https://play.edshed.com/login. (This will take you to an external website)

We are all working hard to learn all our multiplication tables and related division facts for quick and confident recall. To continue this work at home, the following websites are excellent and will reinforce the work done in class. https://www.timestables.co.uk/  https://ttrockstars.com/
