Class 3 2024 - 2025
Mr Fowler
Dear Parents,
With the summer holidays now a distant memory, I welcome you and your child back to Highfields and to life in Key Stage 2.
English
This half term, we will be reading the story Seal Surfer by Michael Foreman. The objective is for the children to write a letter from the boy to his grandfather telling him about the events he has missed.
Maths
We will be following the White Rose Maths programme of study and beginning the autumn term learning about place value of numbers up to 1000. We will then be moving on to adding and subtracting two and three digit numbers.
Reading
The Children in Year 3 will read daily in school. We encourage all children to read every day at home for 15 minutes – this is to improve their reading stamina and comprehension. If you could read with your child, this would be even more beneficial.
Children will all also have access to the Whole Class reading book which this term is An Alien in the Jam Factory.
In a few weeks, the children will be assessed using a new system called Accelerated Reader.
PE
Our PE days will be Monday and Friday. Please can children come to school in their PE kits. For this half-term, we will be playing games outside including hockey.
Homework and school trips
We have no school trips or visitors planned for this half term.
Homework
- Set on Friday and due in the following Wednesday (To begin in week 2).
- Using Atom Prime – details to follow
I am really looking forward to this year and I hope your children enjoy their learning experiences in Year 3. If there are any questions, please don’t hesitate to come in and see me.
