Class 3 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Class 3!

In Class 3 you will find Mr Olver and our two fantastic teaching assistants - Mrs Jones and Mrs Mubanga. We currently have 24 pupils from year 3 and 4.

The children will have a French lesson on a Wednesday afternoon led by a language expert. Mrs Middleton will be helping the children to develop their musical skills along with Mr Curtan from the Love Music Trust on a Thursday afternoon when they will be learning to play a brass instrument. Mrs Hague will be teaching RE, also on Thursday. 

Throughout this term we will be learning about 'The Amazing Human Body' in Science. Here we will be exploring all about our skeleton, muscles, digestive system, teeth and about how the different foods we eat can impact on our body in different ways.

In history, we will be learning about what life was like for children working at Quarry Bank Mill. We will be finding out about the living conditions, the different jobs that children had to do while they worked there and what life was like during the Victorian period.

Maths this term will include the topics of Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division and calcuating some simple areas.

In English, we are going to be reading 'Return' by AAron Becker. We will use this text to write our own setting descriptions and we will also be writing some travel reports about different journeys. Our class story this term will be 'Skyhawk' by Gill Lewis.

In PE this term, we will be developing our skills in football and we will also be learning some indoor athletics skills like the triple jump, standing long jump and speed bounce.

In Art, we are exploring about 'light and dark' and looking at how we can use this to help us to create 3D images, shading and we will draw some of our own still life pictures.

For our PHSE work this term, we will be looking at 'Health and wellbeing' and we shall also look at 'Families and Relationships'.

Maths homework will be sent home on a Wednesday and should be returned on a Friday. English homework will be set on a Friday and will be returned the following Tuesday.  We also strongly encourage the children to regularly access Timestable Rockstars to help develop their understanding of their tables. Over the course of the year there will be 'Rock Battles' within our class and also against other classes in school.  

A busy term awaits!
