Welcome to Class 3 

This is our class 3 information page. On this page, you will find information about what the children have been getting up to this year. You will also find information about the homework that your child will be expected to complete each week. Please take a look at this page an familiarise yourself with everything you will need to know to help support your children. 

Reading 

Reading in class 3 is incredibly important and an integral part of our day. Your children will be exploring many exciting and diverse books to inspire their love of reading whilst practising their comprehension skills. As a school we use reading VIPERS which are targeted questions to help assist the explicit teaching of comprehension skills. Below you will find some resources to help you support your children at home. Children are expected to read for at least 10-15 minutes a day 5 times a week. 

Felix Packer 

 In Art, the children have been looking at printing as a medium. We decided to choose Felix Packer  as our topic champion for this unit of work. Our very own Alex Lewis was going to visit him during half term, so we wrote a letter to him explaining our admiration of his work. Alex had a wonderful time with Felix and managed to see his workshop. On Wednesday afternoon, we received a package from Felix in which he has enclosed a personalised original print for our school, along with a very beautifully created letter in response onto our own. The children were ecstatic to receive this gift from a real artist and we feel very proud to have studied such a wonderful creator in our recent topic. Our personalised and signed print will be displayed in the library for all to see. Very exciting indeed.
