What DOES A Week in class three look like?
It is important that we have our planners, reading records and pencil case in school every day. Each day begins with a few minutes of quiet, independent reading, but we need to make sure that we also complete lots of reading at home!
Mindful Mondays -
We begin the week by taking a moment to calm our bodies and minds, observe our throughts and feelings, and to practice focusing our attention for a few minutes.
Tech Tuesdays -
Today is an opportunity for children in Class 3 to develop their technological skills by publishing work using digital tools, or conducting research online, whilst also learning important principles of responsible digital citizenship.
Walking Wednesdays -
Bring your boots because today is the day we like to get outdoors and stretch our legs! Whether we're climbing up to the moors, or heading down to the canal, we generally manage a round trip of 2-3 miles before lunch.
On Wednesday afternoons, Ms Garside will take Class 3 for RE and Carry My Story.
Thank you Thursdays -
In Class Three we are cultivating an attitude of gratitude, by taking time each week to focus on the positives: people who have helped us, things that have gone well for us, and generally everything in our life we can be thankful for.
P.E. Day. Please can you come to school wearing your P.E. kits.
Friendship Fridays -
Today is the day we take a moment to share positive words about and to our friends and peers in Class Three.
Whilst the Year 5s are swimming, the Year 6s will have the opportunity to review and discuss SATs practice questions.
Celebration Assemblies with Ms Kenworthy: On Fridays we recognise the Star of the Week, along with the Values Award and Politeness Award. If you have achieved anything outside of school, please bring this in and hand to Mr Charlesworth to be shared at assembly.
Spelling: Each Friday we will be tested on our weekly spelling lists so please make sure that you have practiced and learnt these using Spelling Shed online.

This can change weekly but will give you an idea of what we are up to in Class Three.
What can we do at home?
Learning how to learn is an important element of a child's education and therefore we ask that you support your child in completing tasks at home and establishing a healthy balance of play/relaxation and study. Each week, children are expected to practice their assigned spelling words on Spelling Shed, practice their times tables speed on Times Tables Rockstars, and, perhaps most importantly, read at least 20 minutes every day.
Regular reading is always important and it is equally important that we write what we have read in our planners. Remember that we have the list of top 50 books to read before finishing Class Three! This document is in planners but can also be found below. We will also be sending home the Class Three reading scrapbook, in which children will take turns to produce a creative, visual book review to be shared with their classmates.
In addition to the above home learning expectations, Year 6 children will need to complete 4 pages from both their Maths and English SAT practice booklets (during Term 2), which will be reviewed each week. This is in order to help the children feel better prepared for their SATs in Term 3.

Our Topic
This term our Topic is the What's in the Treetops?
This half term we complete a geographical study of the local area, considering different types of settlement and how places have changed over time. We will then look at the contrasting location of Indonesia—the setting for our class text, Running Wild by Michael Morpurgo. Some of the themes will also be explored in our Science and Design Technology lessons. The curriculum newsletter below will give you an overview of what we are studying in our class this half term.
