WELCOME BACK TO A NEW TERM IN CLASS 3

This term we are in a new classroom and we hope this year is one we spend in school enjoying our wonderful setting and settling into a normal school routine!

This term our topic is The Romans and we look forward to finding out what the Romans did for us and how the Roman Invasion of Britain still has an influence on our lives today? In history we always ensure we connect our learning to present day and hopefully we will manage to fit in a trip to Chester to help the children see history in context.

In Literacy we will be starting the term with a 'No Outsiders' week where we focus on how we can be inclusive as a community - we will read' How to Heal a Broken Wing' by Bob Graham which teaches us about our right to life and to live in freedom and safety. As we start our topic we will be looking at mystery/ suspense stories and reading a Roman Mystery with the aim of planning a mystery story. We will also look at key Roman figures Julius Caesar and Boudicca and how they have been portrayed in Literature.

We always start the year in Maths with Number, Place Value as this is a good starting point for consolidating our previous learning and moving our understanding forward. As always we will be extending our times table knowledge with Times Table Rockstars and our CGP books for regular practice at home and in the classroom.

The Autumn term seems to stretch ahead in September but it fills up very quickly with our usual exciting outdoor curriculum in sport, forest school, swimming, football friendly matches as well as music and art.

If parents have any queries or are worried about anything in particular about their child please do not hesitate to contact myself or Ms Bromley.

Warmest wishes

Mrs Blackwell
