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 school, I hope that you have had a fantastic Summer holiday and enjoyed some wonderful family time and made many new happy memories.  

We have a busy and exciting year planned with many different exciting activities to look forward to, please make sure you refer to the whole school newsletter, for the most up-to-date information.

We begin our Year 3 journey by exploring Cornwall—we will delve into the Geography of the UK and    focus specifically on Cornwall, if you have any pictures of holidays that you have spent down there please share them with your child and if you want you can also send them in for our display.

We will start by looking at place value in Maths, understanding what each number is worth, we will then move on to addition and subtraction.

In English we will start by joining Paddington on his many adventures, culminating in us writing our own Paddington adventure story.  We will then move and link our learning to our Geography unit while we study the Mousehole Cat.

In science we will explore our healthy diet, this will then link into our DT day where we explore healthy foods, here the children will learn how to prepare and cook a variety of healthy issues.

Our P.E days our Tuesday.  Please ensure that your children are in the correct uniform on PE days: plain black leggings/joggers, school logo t-shirt, trainers.  No jewellery is to be worn.

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.

Timetable

Homework

Homework is completed on Century Tech.  Children need to complete the minimum of 3 nuggets per week on Maths. Homework is due in every Friday, if children do not complete the expect amount at home they will have to complete it in their own time at school.

Reading

Your child should bring home a reading book each night, they should read for at least 20 minutes.  When they have finished their book they should complete the quiz on Accelerated Reader, if they pass their quiz (80% or above) they need to change their book for a new one.

Please ensure that your child has their book in school every day, along with their reading record.
