Welcome to Class 3. We are a mixed class of enthusiastic Years 5 and 6 pupils.

This year class 3 will have three teaching assistants working in the class throughout the week. Mrs Taylor works Monday - Friday, Mrs Bennett works Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Lee Wednesday to Friday. 

Our geography and history topic this term is Ancient Greece and our science topic is the States of Matter. 

In English the children will be reading "Ice Trap" Shackleton's Incredible Expedition.

In Maths children will learn about place value, addition/subtraction, multiplication/division and fractions. We use the White Rose scheme of work to teach and the steps of development are availble to see on their website. 

For PE children will be doing lacrosse on Monday afternoons and netball on Wednesday afternoons. 

Mrs Battersby will be teaching the class on Wednesday and Mrs Walker will teach ICT on Friday afternoons. 

For homework, our expectations are that the children should be reading with a parent/carer several times a week. Children should also be learning their weekly spellings. The half term's overview will be sent out at the beginning of each half term so that you can practise at home. 

The children should also be practising their times tables on TTRS for 10 minutes, 3 days a week. 

The year 6 children will be getting extra homework throughout the year to help them prepare for their SATs exams.
