Pott Shrigley Class 3 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Class 3

I am very excited for our final term for this academic year.  We, again, have an exciting and ambitious learning journey planned for our Summer term.

In Maths, Years 4 and 5 will focus on Convertiung Units, Shape and Staistics– our work in Spring in securing knowledge of times tables and number facts will be put to good use in the application of this new learning. Year 6 will be consildating all their KS2 knowledge and practising these key skills in preparation for the KS3 curriculum they will be starting in September.. Good luck to all our fantastic Mathematicians. 

Our final English text is ‘King Kong’ by Anthony Browne. This fantastic story is based in New York and Skull Island and is the tragic tale of the capture and ultimate destruction of a huge gorilla. The children will be learning the literary techniques needed to produce their own Dilemma Narrative and a Balanced Argument.

Our final Geography topic is 'The Amazing Americas'. We will be learning all about North and South America, including their geographical features, climate, culture and history.

To finish our Scientific learning this year, we have a topic called 'Sensational Science'. We will be experimenting, investigating and consolidating our scientific knowledge. 

In RE, we are thinking about how Pentecost affected the early Christian Church and how it is still relevant to our lives today. 

In Art this term, our focus will be 'Architecture'. We will be developing our observational drawing skills and learning about scale, proportion and close detailed work.

This term, PE will be on a Tuesday. The children will need to attend school in their PE kit every Tuesday. Class 3 will also have Swimming every Friday. Spellings will be given to the class on a Monday morning and tested on a Friday. I will be giving the children techniques and guidance of how best to learn these weekly words in preparation for the test. Reading for pleasure is an important focus for us and we encourage the children to read as much as possible. Support from home to encourage this vital life skill will be greatly appreciated.

Please do not hesitate to contact me through Dojo if you have any questions or worries about your child’s learning.
