Welcome to Class 3  

Summer Term 2025 

Welcome back to the final half term of Year Three!

We hope you have all had a wonderful half term break. It's hard to believe we are in the last half term of the school year but we have a very busy half term ahead full of fun and exciting activities and we can't wait to get started! Here's just a brief outline of what we'll be getting up to.

In our Religious Educuation (R.E.) lessons, we will be finishing Branch 5: To the Ends of the Earth before moving on to Branch 6: Dialogue and Encounter. In this unit we will look at two other religions; Judaism - looking at the people, Passover and the book of Exodus; and Islam - where we will be looking at the links and connections between our religions. There will, as always, be lots of discussion and reflection.

In English, our 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! Please do however try to keep up with the English homework as this is closely linked to the work we do in class and is given to reinforce or consolidate learning. See the homework timetable below.

In Maths, for this half term, will be focussing on; Addition & Subtraction, 2D shapes, Time, Multiplication & Division and Fractions. Again, homework set will be closely linked to our learning in class. Please try to keep up to date with this as it really does help.

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

This half term will continue with a History focus. We have a bit of the Iron Age topic to complete from last half term and then we will be moving on to look at Ancient Egypt...can't wait! Again, more information is in the knowledge organiser below.

We will be continuing with our swimming lessons on a Wednesday afternoon and our clarinet lessons on a Friday morning - please find time to practise clarinet at home, it really does make a difference. 

Please refer to the homework timetable below if you are unsure of what to do and when it is due. I also post a news item to let you know what is coming up for that week.

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 continiue to work together to make this a fantastic year for the children of Class 3.

Many thanks 

The Class Three team
