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 Ginn. Our class Topic is weather and this term we will make clouds and learn about the Water Cycle as well as creating weather reports and finding out how to measure the weather.

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

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon and gymnastics is now on a Thursday morning. Children need to wear school uniform and have their PE kit in school on a Wednesday which they will then wear this home. On a Thursday they need to come to school wearing PE kit with their school uniform to change into.

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.

	Reading This year children will get a reading book each Friday. If you finish it quickly, reread it so you can get to know it really well, or enjoy a library book. We will only change books on a Thursday so that we can leave them in isolation over the weekend and put them back into circulation the next week. 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 fractions 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, I know you already know your 2, 5 and 10 x tables really well. You can practise these using your TT Rockstarts account. (Your password is stuck into your Homework Book.) In class we have been playing Hit the Button on the Topmarks Maths website. This is another way to get really speedy with your Maths facts.
	English Many children in the class have now earned their Pen License – well done Wilsford Class for your beautiful hndwriting. This term we will be reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes, our writing will be inspired by that book.
	Science We are learning about plants. We will learn what organic things need to grow and we will plant our own vegetables in our plot in the school garden.
	Topic Out topic this term is the Stone Age. We will look at how people lived in the Stone Age, what they wore and also what they ate. We will also learn about Stonehenge and other local pre-historic sites.
	Art We will study cave paintings and the pottery of the Beaker people.
	Our class book Our class book is Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Katamura .
	Our school value The school value that we are reflecting on this term is humility.
