Class 3

Please find a brief overview of the learning taking place in Class 3 during the Spring term.

In Science, we will be progressing onto our new unit, ‘Animals including Humans’ - a unit focused on healthy diet, skeletons, nutrients and how they contribute to the human body. In topic, Class 3 are advancing from the Stone Age to Ancient Greece in our dimension’s unit, “Athens VS Sparta”. This thematic unit has a key focus on history where the children will be exploring Greek culture, mythology, and conflict.

Pupils will be writing a character description in English based on our focus text, ‘The Iron Man’, using expanded noun phrases, similes, and other taught features; eventually progressing onto a non-chronological report on Athens and Sparta, linking to our foundation unit.  In Maths Mastery, we will be finishing off our 10-week unit on numbers to 1000, before progressing onto right angles; Class 3 will be learning how to identify and create right angles as well as how to draw a range of quadrilaterals and polygons.

​

PE sessions now take place on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure that PE kit is always in school – if you do wish to purchase new PE kit, this can be purchased from the school office.

Children will continue to receive weekly spellings each Monday, which they will be tested on the following Monday. In addition, creative homework will be set every Friday and recorded in the purple book. Pupils are no longer required to complete a journal activity; however, we still strongly encourage regular home reading whenever possible.

​

Thank you for your continued support – please don’t hesitate to get in contact if any queries or concerns arise.

Kindest regards,

Miss Morris
