Class 3
“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
Malcolm X
Welcome to Class 3
We have a two-year rolling cycle of topics, which gives children the opportunity for cross-curricular learning. Our first topic of the year is Electricity. In our morning lessons, we focus on reading and writing and then mathematics after break. On an afternoon, children focus on other elements of the curriculum.
How to support your child at home
We encourage our children to be strong readers and writers and will encourage them to expand their knowledge in many further areas of the wider curriculum. Therefore, for homework, there is an expectation that children in Key Stage 2 pupils will read independently, three to four times a week, for about 15-20 minutes. Spellings will also be sent home for the children to learn for each half term. Children can use SpellingShed to games to support in their learning. Additionally, other home learning may be set later in the academic year. Finally, you can also support your child with maths by practising times tables and find arithmetic questions on the MathsBot.

Young Voices – The largest school choir in the world
This year Class 3 have been chosen to represent our school at the Young Voices concert at Sheffield Arena on Tuesday 28th January.
Why?
The National Curriculum states that in KS2 all children must:
- Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression.
- Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music.
- Listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory.
It is a massive event! I have never heard of anyone who hasn’t enjoyed it or viewed it as amazing.
