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 Weather, this term we will learn about climates around the world, different weathers and how rain, wind and temperature is measured.

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

Dance is on a Tuesday afternoon and PE is on a Wednesday. Children need to have their PE kit in school on these days. When it is cold children will need to have a PE jumper to wear. Children shouldn’t wear their school jumper for PE – if it were wet they wouldn’t have anything dry to change into. We are also going swimming on a Friday – children will need their swimming kit on this day.

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

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

Mrs Woodley
