Welcome to Class 3's Page
Our teachers are Mr Harvey (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) and Mrs Cutler (Wed) and our teaching partner is Mrs Cooke.
Our Autumn term topic is...
Roman Britain
Welcome back to a brand-new school year! I hope you have had a fantastic and relaxing summer and are ready for an amazing new term.
A few reminders: homework will be handed out on a Monday and due in by the following Monday. PE will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday, please make sure that all uniform and PE kits are clearly labelled, and drinks bottles brought in every day. There is no Forest School this term so please do not worry about bringing in any clothes or shoes just yet .
We will be doing weekly spelling tests this year, a list of the spellings that they will be tested on will be sent out within the first couple of weeks of term. The children will be tested on these spellings each Thursday (excluding the first week of every half term.)
Please can children be aiming to read AT LEAST five times a week and for it to be signed by an adult (or older sibling). This year we will also be asking children to write down how, many pages they have read each time. This will then be adding together, and a prize given out every Monday to the pupil(s) who have read the most pages (there will be a sheet to fill in, in their Reading Logbooks).
I am so excited to be your new teacher!
Mr Harvey
