Welcome to Class 3  

Autumn Term 2024

Welcome to Class Three and the juniors!

We hope you have had the most amazing summer break and are now ready and looking forward to all the new and interesting things that we can find out together. We're going to be really busy, as always, but we can't wait to get started! Here's just a brief outline of what we'll be getting up to.

Our first full week will be our Mission Week. During this week there will be lots of parish and community events, hosted by each class in the school. More details on what's going on will be shared as soon as timings are confirmed.

Our English lessons will be based around a range of fantastic books and I will give details of these as we go along...I don't want to give too much away as lots of prediction is involved!

In Maths, for this half term, will be focussing on;  Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Time; 3D Shapes, Place Value: Difference

In Science we will be thinking about 'Keeping Healthy'. For more information on this, please see the knowledge organiser below.

This half term will have a Geography focus and we will be investigating the question, 'How and why is my local area changing?'  Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

Exciting news - this year, we will be learning how to play the clarinet. The children will be bringing letters home to explain their responsibilities for during the lessons and for the care of the instrument which they will be allowed to bring home with them once the music teacher is happy that the children are confident enough. The lessons will follow the music curriculum and the instruments will be provided by Sefton Music Service. It is thanks to PTA funding that these lessons are able to take place this year.

If you have any questions or concerns or if you would like to volunteer to help out or share your expertise in a particular area, you can contact us through the school office or see us at the beginning or end of the school day.

Let’s work together to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class 3 team
