Welcome to our Class 3 page- 2023/24.
In Class 3 we are all superheroes in training!
We all have a superpower and we just need to unlock it! 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 be.
Class 3 have started the year wonderfully by creating their Class Charter and making new friends.
Autumn Term 2023/24
Our topic this term is linked to Lancashire and the local cotton industry. In History we will be learning all about the history of Lancashire's spinning and weaving heratage that made the North of England a power house in the Industrial revolution. We will be making learning relevant by looking at the period through the eyes of a child working in a cotton mill. Learning will be enriched trhough a trip to Quarry Bank Mill to see a real working mill and experience life in a Lancashire Mill Town.
In art we will be looking how L S Lowry was inspired by Industrial Northern England to create his artwork. In Design Technology we will putting our learning to good use and creating a textile partchwork quilt. This will link with our PSHE unit, 'All about me' because each patchwork will be designed to tell a story about each one of us!
In Geography we will be extending our map skills by locating the world’s countries and then discovering what it would be like to jet off Reykjavik in Iceland.
We can't wait to share our learning with you, so please keep a regaular check on website blog where we will posting lots of photos.

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.

Please ensure you check your child's Google classroom regularly as we will be posting updates and messages about learning on there.

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/
