Welcome to Class 3

About Us

Myself and Mrs McBride teach across the week in Class 3, supported by our new teaching assistant, Miss Hope.   We are a mixed age class of 18 Year 4, Year 5 and 6 children.

What Our Week Looks Like

Mrs McBride will be covering PPA on a Monday morning.

Our Forest Schools Leader, Mrs Booth, takes the class down to the forest every other Monday afternoon and we are very lucky to have an Activ Sports coach to teach PE on a Thursday afternoon this half term. Please ensure your child has suitable clothes that are named.

Homework

Homework this half term is the project. In addition, children are expected to: read daily; practise their spellings; practise their times tables and KIRFs; and complete their weekly MyMaths.

For the second half term, pupils will manage their own homework through the suggested ideas given by the teacher in addition to Spelling Shed, reading,MyMaths and times tables.  If there are any questions about homework, please just ask! During the second half term, homework will be marked on Seesaw every Monday.

We will be really pushing Spellings and times tables this year and children will now be able to practise spellings online with the Spelling Shed website. Children can practise their times tables on 'Hit the Button' or in their times tables books. They will be tested on their spellings every Monday and on the focus times table every Friday.

We would like all our pupils to read at least three times a week to an adult. Each time they have read, a child will receive a star to add to the reading rocket in their reading record book.  Once they have completed their rocket, they win a prize!

Finally, no equipment (pencil cases, sharpies etc) is allowed in school. Children will be provided with their own pencil case and resources. This also includes trading cards, teddies and anything else that is not needed in school.

Please ensure your child has a clean water bottle in school everyday, that goes home at the end of each day. 

Thank you,

Miss Birch
