Class 3 update
Hello again. Class 3 are now in their final full term before moving up to year 4.
We continue to have the support of Mrs Cornett, Mrs Garwood and Miss Hession.
Over the Summer Term we will be learning about The Egyptians for History and Settlements for Geography.
Our Science will be all about Rocks and Minerals.
P.E. days will continue to be Tuesdays and Fridays.
Please may I remind you again of how valuable it is for the children to practice their reading at home. If they read a non-school book, sign their diary anyway as this still counts as reading to an adult.
Again, please ask any questions/share any concerns by speaking to me at the end of the school day.
Mrs Bennett and the Class 3 team.
Choose one item from the activities to complete every other week. Please ensure that at least 2 activities have been completed over the half term.
Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 |

R.E. Visit our church next to school and draw 4 things you see in there. Do you know what they are called? Add labels. Can you explain there purpose? | SCIENCE Can you and your adults set up and carry out a simple experiment? You will need: To make a ramp that an object can ‘roll’ down. Something small on a table / worktop will work. An object that will roll down a suitable surface (small ball, toy car) Some ‘textures’ around your home that will ‘test’ what works. E.g. a tea towel, cooking foil. Record your test OR write down what did / did not work. |

Reading | Spelling | Timetable Rock Stars |
The children will bring reading books home weekly. Children are expected to read daily for at least 10 minutes. Please keep a record of what your child has read in their reading diary. Books need to be brought to school every day. Parents, please sign your child’s reading diary daily to identify that they have read.
|
A new spelling rule will come home weekly, which the children will have been exposed to in school. Please ensure that spellings are practised frequently. Spelling tests will take place on Fridays. |
Please ensure that children are accessing Numbots / Times Table Rockstars. Practising little and often is effective. Try for 10 minutes per day!
