Class 3

Miss Griffin

Welcome to Class 3

Class 3 is a mixed year 2 and year 3 class. This class is taught by Miss Griffin.

Useful Information

Spellings will be sent home on a Tuesday. Spelling activities to assess spellings will take place on a Friday each week. Please practise your spellings every day at home on the sheet provided which is sent home on a Tuesday. Remember to complete the word collecting task and writing sentences using your spelling words too.

Maths homework will be sent home each Thursday which will focus on the skills being learnt in class.

House-points and reward time will be awarded for completing your homework and reading regularly at home.

Maths

Pupils will be continuing to learn and revisit place value, addition and subtraction. Throughout the year we will also be learning about multiplication, fractions, shape and a range of measurement. Year 2s will be working with numbers to 100, whereas Year 3 pupils will working with numbers to 1,000. Practising your times table facts at home will really help throughout the year.

English

In our English lessons, we will be learning different ways to help us write exciting narratives and interesting non-fiction pieces. This term, we are working on creating a narrative based on the book ‘The Storm Whale.

Reading

In Year 2, children will be focusing on increasing and applying their phonics knowledge using Little Wandle. In Year 3, we will be reading daily in class in our VIPERS sessions, covering a range of genres including a text inspired by Mary Anning. Children will read individually throughout the term and periodically to assess their book band level. It would be great if you could listen to your child at home every day. Please ensure that your child’s reading book and diary are sent into school every day.

Topics

Our main humanities topic this term is focused around geography. We will be finding out all about continents and oceans. We will also be using atlases and maps to help us understand where the different continents and oceans are located.

P.E

Please can Class 3 wear their P.E kits and suitable sports footwear to school on Mondays and Wednesdays. As the weather becomes warmer, children may want to wear shorts. If the forecast is hot and sunny, please apply sun cream before school and provide a hat and water bottle every day. Please could children also bring a waterproof coat to school now that the weather is getting colder.

Weekly homework in Class 3

Children will receive spellings on a Monday to be practised throughout the week in school and at home. On a Friday they complete a task to assess how well they are remembering the spellings.

The home learning activities around spellings are attached below and should be completed each week. Homework should be posted on Seesaw for marking or brought into school by Friday.

The children are expected to read their school reading book every day at home with at least three entries in their reading journal each week. Reading takes place in school every day in different forms, but it is really important that your child brings their reading book to school every day please.

Practising multiplication facts is very important in lower key stage 2. Year 3s will start by revisiting the x2, x5 and x10 tables and then working on x3 and x4 during the first term. Once secure with these, they will progress to x6 and x8 facts and gradually learn all of the facts up to 12×12. In Year 4 it is very important to become fluent with all of the multiplication facts and the pupils will complete a national multiplication check assessment towards the end of Year 4.
