Welcome to Class Three

Years 4, 5 and 6

Topic

Please see our topic web on the curriculum pages of the website for full information and a detailed breakdown on all subjects this half term.

Home Learning

Reading: Our aim is to develop a love of reading for all our children. Reading with your child should be a fun and enjoyable process. As your child becomes more independent, please help them to read on a regular basis. Talk to them about their book choices; discussions and plot predictions support your child in their comprehension skills.  We have a new reward system in place to encourage our reading superstars. Reading is vitally important in so many aspects of the wider curriculum and is a valuable life skill. Reading for pleasure is something which we would love all our children to benefit from. 

Times Table Rockstars: In order to develop the rapid recall of multiplication and division facts relating to times tables, all children are encouraged to access the games set on their TT Rockstars account. All children have their own personal log in and individually set times tables to work on. Battles between the class groups are set weekly, with rewards for the winners and top scorers. 

Homework: Homework for maths, spelling and reading will be sent out weekly, on Fridays, to be completed by the following Friday. Regular home reading is also encouraged and there is a class reward scheme still in action to promote this.
