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 be.

Autumn Term 2024/25

Our topic this term is linked to the Anglo- Saxons and the Vikings. In History we will be learning all about why the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings invaded, why and where they settled, how they lived and the impact they made. To enrich our learning, we will be welcoming a 'real life' Anglo-Saxon into school to find out what life was really like for them.

In English, our text is Odd and the Frost Giants where will be follow the adventures of a Viking boy called Odd. Alone in the forest, he encounters a bear, a fox and an eagle, each of whom has a strange story to tell. They need Odd's help to save the city of Asgard form the Frost Giants who have invaded it! We will use this text to help us extend our English and story writing skills.

In Art, we will be learning to weave just like an Anglo-Saxon and exploring textiles. Our Design Technology project will be to explore levers and we will be using thei knowledge to create a moving book all about the Vikings!

In Science, we will be learnig all about animals, their habitats and how to classify them.

This term in PE we will be developing both our football and netball skills in invasion games.

We can't wait to share our learning with you, so please keep a regular check on website blog where we will posting lots of photos.

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 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/

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any point this year. We operate an open door policy and are available if you ever have any concerns.
