I hope you have had a lovely summer break (despite the dreadful weather!) and that the children are just as excited as I am to start KS2 in September. I wanted to give you a brief overview of what Class 3 will be learning about in the Autumn term.
In science, we will be learning about ‘Rocks and Soils’; working scientifically to observe and classify different rocks, soils and even checking for fossils! In Topic, the children will be learning about film and animation in our ‘That’s All Folks!’ Unit. Topic will continue to combine the foundation subjects, focusing primarily on History, Art and Computing, to show the journey of animation and cartoons. In Maths, we will begin the term with Number and Place Value eventually progressing to mental and written methods for addition. Whilst in English, we will be planning setting descriptions, re-writing stories and eventually play scripts.
PE sessions will be taking place on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure that PE kit is always in school - kit can be kept on your child’s peg during the week. With colder weather approaching, the children are welcome to bring tracksuit bottoms and jumpers if they wish. If your child requires new PE kit, this can be purchased from the school office.
Children are still expected to complete a reading journal activity of their choice after every book. Children should aim to complete at least one reading journal activity per week (examples of reading journal activities will be stuck inside their Reading Journal Book). Additional creative homework (purple book) will also be given out throughout the year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for your continued support – I look forward to meeting you all in September.
