Welcome to Wilsford Class

10 things to do in Year 3

Wilsford Class


Welcome back to school!

Wilsford class will be leaning together on Monday 8th March 2021


Hope and new life

During the Autumn Term Wilsford Class have grown a hyacinth bulb. 

It is now flowering and it smells beautiful – it is on the windowsill of the classroom.


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.

Finally – remember to wear something warm to school. We have our doors and windows open all of the time to ensure that there is air flow in the classroom. We also have an outdoor learning space outside of Wilsford, as the weather gets colder we will continue to use these spaces as much as we can.

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 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 about multiplication an division.

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.

We are also counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s, 10s, 100s and 50s.

 

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 Pugs of the Frozen North and our writing will be inspired by that book.

Science

We are learning about Forces.

We will learn about magnets and friction, as well as do lots of investigations.

 

Topic

Out topic this term is Weather. We will measure rainfall, look at weather patterns in the UK and earn about extreme weathers around the world.

 

Art

Our artwork will be inspired by Turners painting of clouds and skyscapes.

 

 

Our class book

Our class book is Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill

 

 

 

Our school value 

The school value that we are reflecting on this term is peace.
