Class 3 2024 - 2025
Mr Fowler
English
This half term, the children’s writing will be based around the book Winter’s Child by Angela McAllister. The objective of this unit of work is for the children to write a fantasy story based on this fable.
Alongside our English lessons, we will be having daily spelling lessons and regular handwriting sessions.
Maths
For this half-term, we will still be following the White Rose Maths programme of study. We will still be concentrating on adding and subtracting two and three digit numbers. Towards the end of the term, we will be moving onto multiplication and division.
Reading
For a whole class read last half-term, the children loved reading ‘An Alien in the Jam Factory’ and I know a few of the children have asked for the sequels. For this half-term the class reading book is ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ by Cressida Cowell. I believe there are also a few sequels of this that could be put on the children’s Christmas list!!!
At the end of last half-term, the children were assessed using a new system called Accelerated Reader. Their individual books they read will be based on these assessments. I will hopefully be in a position to explain more on parents evenings.
PE
Monday and Tuesday (moved from Friday)
Please can children come to school in their PE kits. For this half-term, we will be dancing (like witches and wizards) and working on the floor in gymnastics.

We have no school trips planned for this half term. However, we do have a visit to the school of a stage group who will performing a Christmas panto in December
