Welcome to Class 3, 2023-24.
Welcome back! We hope you all had a great half term and managed to rest and recharge ready for Spring 2’s learning.
This half term is a little shorter, with four weeks and four days to swot up as much as we can! Continuing alongside our maths, English, reading and spelling, our geography focus is Japan and looking into how it contrasts in relation to England. We will be learning about forces and magnets in science and sculpture in art. Our P.E days have changed to a Monday, where we will be concentrating on game play in rounders. The wellbeing topic is ‘Online relationships and how to be safe’ and computing lessons will focus on ‘Moving and Control’. French sessions will continue and the music focus is centred around Adele’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you and eager to begin!
Here are a few things you need to know for the coming term;
HOMEWORK- We expect you to read, practise spellings and times tables daily at home.
Use your red spelling practice book in any way you want to, to help you practice. We will use lots of different strategies in class that you could also use at home. For times tables- use games, songs or the grids. Check DB Primary for details and links.
PE- (a change in day) Monday afternoons - Please wear your PE kit on these days and remove all jewellery. Earrings MUST be removed, or you will not be able to take part in the lesson.
Thursdays- Reading records. Bring your reading record in each Thursday so we can check your regular reading at home.
FRIDAYS- spelling test and times tables check. New spelling words will be uploaded to DB and put into your red practise books. Please ensure you have your spelling book with you in school every Friday so that new spellings can be stuck in. There are links to times table games on DB and a group will do a practise check at least once a fortnight.
