Welcome to Class 3!

This is the happy home of our Year 3 children.

The class teacher is Miss Tordoff and our Teaching Assistants are Miss English and Ms Sagna.

We have a busy/exciting term ahead of us.

Our term topic is 

UNSTOPPABLE!

In History we will be exploring the Big Question “Why did the Romans settle in Britain?”. This will involve recapping our timeline to understand when the Romans were around. We will then explore why the Romans invaded Britain and the reaction of the Celts; learning how the Romans changed life in Britain. We are luck to have Roman ruins on our doorstop, so we will be going to visit Lydney Estate Park to see what the Romans left behind in our local area

We will then be learning about volcanoes in Geography. We will get to explore why people live near volcanoes and how they are formed. We will be learning about the structure of the Earth and how tectonic plates can create natural disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. 

Our current book for English is 'The Tear Thief' by Carol Ann Duffy.

Here are a list of the other books we will be reading this term:

The Iron Man by Ted Hughes 

The Tin Forest by Helen Ward

Hurricane by David Wiesner 

Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit

PE this term will be on a Tuesday and Friday, this does occasionally change based on hall usage, so please if possible have your PE kit in school Monday to Friday. 

Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be given back by Wednesday. Our spellings are given out early, before we start to practice them in the following week. This is in order for children to have longer to feel more secure and more time to practice them at home. Spellings will be practiced daily, with the test on Friday. Please support your child's learning by listening to them read and recording this in their reading record books. Encourage your child to practice their times tables on TTRS!
