PE in Class 3 takes place on a Wednesday and Friday afternoon. More information about kits can be found here: Uniform and Kits

Class 3 have a spelling test every Thursday afternoon. We understand that some spellings can be tricky to learn so it is important to practice regularly and look out for the patterns that can help you! When children reach 150 correct spellings, they will receive an exciting treat! The Year 3/4 Statutory Spelling list can be accessed here: Spellings
In June 2021, Year 4 children will be sitting a new Times Tables test. We have daily practice in Class 3 but it is encouraged that children also practice at home. There are many fantastic websites and apps to use but we love using 'Hit the Button' in Class 3, which can be accessed here: Hit the Button
Reading Rocks
Reading is a regular and enjoyable part of our day in Class 3 and it is fantastic to see so many children reading at home too! There is an expectation in KS2 that children are reading at least three times per week, signed by an adult at home.
All children have a Reading Bookmark in the back of their homework diaries - for every read at home (signed by a grown-up), children will receive a star. When children have collected 15 and 30 stars, they will be rewarded!

Remembrance Day and Children in Need
This afternoon, we learned all about Remembrance Day and why we commemorate it. We understood why we wear poppies and created a beautiful display!
Today, we dressed up in our yellow and spotty outfits for Children in Need. We discussed the importance of charities and helping people who need it the most.
Terrific Topic
We began our new Topic today - The Stone Age! We learned about lots of different key events and gained an insight into how Stone Age people might have lived. We created some fantastic timelines to present the events in chronological order!
This morning, we became Stone Age people and created some super cave paintings!
Super Science
This afternoon, we learned all about complete and incomplete circuits. We found out that batteries are positive and negative and must be connected on both ends for the lightbulb to shine!
Exciting English
To begin our new English topic all about instruction writing, we followed a set of instructions to create a handprint woolly mammoth!
Wonderful World Religions
Today in RE, we explored the Hindu celebration of Diwali. We learned all about Goddess Lakshmi and how Hindus decorate their houses! We then decorated our own Rangoli Patterns!
