Welcome to Class 3

Spring 2026

Happy New Year!

We hope you have had the most amazing break and are now relaxed and refreshed, ready for the first of our spring terms. We're going to be really busy, as always, but we can't wait to get started!

In RE lessons, we will be looking at Branch 3 - Galilee to Jerusalem. In this branch, pupils will encounter the Gospel of St Matthew.  Matthew’s gospel is divided into seven books. The first contains the birth and infancy narratives, the last describes Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection, and the five books in between give an account of the life and ministry of Jesus.  In parts of this gospel, St Matthew gathers similar stories and accounts as they all point to
the same message. The scriptural texts studied in this branch draw from two sections: a narrative section on ten miracles and a sermon on parables. Jesus may not have performed ten miracles in sequence or told parables one after the other, but St Matthew puts them together as they all indicate a greater truth about building the Kingdom of God.

Our English, as usual, 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! English homework will alternate between grammar exercises and reading comprehensions. Please see the homework timetable below.

In Maths, for this half term, will be focussing on; Place Value, Addition. Times Tables, Fractions, Angles: 2D shapes, Addition & Subtraction. Homework will be linked to these areas as we go through the half term. Again, please see the homework timetable below.

In Science we will be learning about 'Rocks, Soils and Fossils'. For more information on this, please see the knowledge organiser below.

This half term will have a History focus and we will be investigating the question, 'How did the lives of ancient Britons change during the Stone Age?' Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

Please remember, 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 continue to work together to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class Three Team
