Welcome to Wilsford Class

Wilsford Class

Hello, Year 3!

I am Mrs Woodley, your class teacher. The rest of the team are Mrs Fay, Mrs Jenkins and Mrs Kingston-Jones. Our class Topic is Victorians and this term we will learn about inventors, steam travel and school life for Victorian children.

Children will receive spellings on a Wednesday and they will be tested the next Wednesday.

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon and gymnastics on a Thursday. Children need to have their PE kit in school on these days. It will start to get colder, so remember to include a PE jumper. Children shouldn’t wear their school jumper for PE – if it were wet they wouldn’t have anything dry to change into.

Homework will be set on a Tuesday and will be due in the following Monday.

I will update our class page with pictures of our learning together over the coming weeks.

I am looking forward to us having lots of fun together over the coming term.

Mrs Woodley

	Reading This year children will get a reading book each week. If you finish it quickly, reread it so you can get to know it really well, or enjoy a library book. Have a look at the Year 3 Reading Spine of books to enjoy in Year 3, here: Year 3 Reading spine
	Maths We are learning about numbers and Place Value this term. The times tables that we use in Year 3 are the 3 x table, the 4 x table and the 8 x table. These are the ones you need to know really well, you have already learnt your 2, 5 and 10 x tables in Year 2, keep practising! You can practise these using your TT Rockstarts account.
