Year 3 – Blossom Class

"Every child is a different kind of flower and all together they make this world a beautiful garden."

In Year 3 we have 30 eager and excited children ready to embrace their Key Stage 2 journey.

I am Mrs Twist, the class teacher  and, together with Miss Rusden, throughout this year we will nurture your children as they begin their KS2 journey.    

The happiness and safety of your child is very important to me, if you ever have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me on my school email:  ktwist@olsa.lancs.sch.uk 

Welcome back to our final term in Year 3.

This is a very exciting and busy 6 weeks, alongside our learning some of our children are making their first communion on Sunday 22nd June at 10:30am mass.  I am sure you will join me in praying for our children during this important time in their spiritual journey.

In addition to this we will be supporting our Year 6 children with their end of year production - we will, alongside Year 4 and 5 be providing the choir.  This is an important event and all children will be expected to attend on Tuesday 8th July at 6pm.  Please ensure this date is in your diary.

We will also have Sports Day and other exciting end of term activities.

Our learning will focus around the book 'The fastest Boy in the World' this will then support our Science work on the Skeleton, and our Art work.  In Maths we will be learning about Angles, Perimeter and parallel and perpendicular lines.

PE days are now Mondays - Swimming and Wednesdays.  Please ensure that your children wear their PE kits on these days.

Swimming kit - all children will need a towel, swimming shorts (above the knee) or costume (one piece) and a swimming hat (both boys and girls).  Please ensure that these are in school every Monday.

Class Routine

As the children enter the classroom there will be a morning task for them to complete, this is usually a maths activity or quiet reading.

After registration the children will begin the learning for the day.

At break time the children can bring a healthy snack in to eat at break time, please note fruit is not provided for KS2 children.

World Book Day 

We came to school dressed as a word! There were lots of different words showing our amazing vocabulary in Year 3!  We really enjoyed our hot chocolate and biscuit at the reading cafe.
