Welcome to Class 3

Summer 2026

We hope you have had the most amazing break and are now relaxed and refreshed, ready for the first of our summer terms. Can you believe we're at this point already? 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 5 - To the Ends of the Earth. In this branch, pupils will progress in their knowledge of the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus and will look at how Mass today mirrors Mass celebrated by the first disciples. The first historical account of Mass is in St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. The letter is written within a few years of Jesus’ resurrection and shows that the Mass celebrated by the Catholic Church today follows the pattern set down by the first disciples. They will also connect with the words of Jesus at the end of Matthew’s gospel and the words that the priest or deacon says at the end of the Mass. Pupils will begin to explore the mystery of the Holy Trinity in more depth, though as it is a mystery, it is not something that can be easily explained or understood.

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; Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Statistics & data and Weight. Homework will be linked to these areas as we go through the half term and will usually be on Abacus or My Maths. Again, please see the homework timetable below.

In Science we will be finishing our 'Plants: roots and shoots' from last 1/2 term and then moving onto Light and Shadows. 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 questions, 'What is the secret of the standing stones?' (Bronze Age Britain) and 'How do artefacts help us understand the lives of people in Iron Age Britain?' 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.

We've not got long left in Y3 now so let’s continue to work together to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class Three Team
